Fantasy
Like Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches series and Neil Gaiman's
American Gods, THE AUTUMN CASTLE is a brilliant new dark
fantasy debut. Berlin in autumn: Christine Starlight lives
in an artist's colony in the crumbling shadows of the old
European East. Her lover, Jude, is a painter whose patience
and beauty have eased her long battle with chronic pain.
Haunted by dim recollections of the past, Christine's life
is rocked by the return of her missing childhood friend
May. Abducted as a child into a place of magic and myth,
May now presides over a land where a witch lives in a well,
a shape-shifting wolf is her trusted counselor, and fate
turns on the fall of an autumn leaf. As Christine grows
addicted to May's world, where she is released from her
relentless pain, so May grows addicted to Christine's,
falling dangerously in love with Jude. But while
jealousies, betrayals, and secrets begin to unravel the
threads of their happiness, they are unaware of the threat
stalking them: the cruel and brilliant Immanuel Z, who is
hunting their bones for a grand sculpture.
