Dying Of The Light

A whisperjewel from Gwen Delvano calls Dirk t'Larien across the expanse of space to Worlorn, a dying festival planet of rock and ice. Worlorn is slowly drifting through twilight into a neverending night, and as the planet sinks into darkness, its inhabitants face annihilation. Seven years earlier, on Avalon, Gwen was Dirk's lover, his Guenevere; now she wears the jade-and-silver bond of Jaantony Riv Wolf high-Ironjade Vikary, a barbarian visionary and an outcast from his own people for his acts of violence. Also bound to Gwen through their complex relationship is Garse Janacek, Jaan's teyn, his shieldmate, who harbours intense hatred toward her.

Dirk, a rogue and wanderer, is called upon to be the saviour of these three individuals who are intertwined in a web of love and hate. But in attempting to break this tumultuous triangle, Dirk risks losing everything he holds dear. Through stark landscapes and fading festivities, the characters wrestle not just with each other, but with their own deep-seated fears and desires.
