| "Amberlight is peopled with vivid characters that stormed up off the page into permanent residence in my mind, in a unique world, and driving an original plot. If some writers' prose sings, Kelso's is an opera"Lois McMaster Bujold
Tellurith, the head of a greating ruling House in the legendary city of Amberlight, saves a battered outlander found left for dead in the streets. An oracle tells her that the man must not die. Though stripped of his memory, he may know of a threat to Amberlight's unique possession: the motherloads of qherrique, the pearl-rock that gives their world its greatest power.
What could Tellurith feel for this nameless stranger that would make her risk her House and city for his sake? And is it honor or betrayal that brings war, siege, and the ruin of their every hope? Only a cataclysmic upheaval can help Tellurith and the stranger grasp the more-than-human mystery that has brought them together. |
