"The Gift" is an exploration of the art of storytelling, a coming-of-age tale in a place and time when magic is not the ring to be grabbed but the poison to be shunned. It is the tale of a boy named Tim, who is robbed of his childhood, and a young king named Simon, who is tormented by his hearing being made magically acute. Both are the victims of The Usher of the Night.
Review:
"...a weird, witty, often enchanting climb, boosted by the resolutely feminist subtext."
Kirkus, 08/01/1997
Review:"O'Leary's oblique approach to fantasy will remind some readers of the work of Gene Wolfe of Italo Cavino, but 'The Gift' is anything but derivative. Utterly unlike 'Door Number Three' in style and substance, the new book achieves the same high level of accomplishment. It is a beautifully written, elegantly structured and highly perceptive in its observations about the importance of imagination."
Michael Berry, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 01/18/1998

Book Description: Mps 3pl, 1998. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Trade Pbk. 217 x 141 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. "The Gift" is a story wrapped inside another story, and like any gift, the unwrapping is almost as important as what's inside. Inside this gift is a story of innocence betrayed and magic rejected. A boy named Tim is robbed of his childhood; a young king named Simon is tormented by hearing made magically acute. Both are victims of The Usher of the Night, once a boy like them, but now pathetically twisted by his own ambition and the malevolent creature of magic called Tomen. Together Simon and Tim must rid their land of the old, near-forgotten magic perverted by the misuse of Tomen and The Usher.
