© 1986: 1st in the 'Avaryan Rising' series of books. 1st printing of 1988 edition:- Synopsis: He came while she kept vigil in the Temple of Han-Gilen where is his most sacred image. He came, and he loved her. Of that union I was conceived. As was foretold, the stranger passed between the Towers of the Dawn, towards the end of the rule of the King, and entered the stronghold of Han-Ianon. He was a man like none other. Offspring of the god of light, his eyes were like finely tempered steel, and in the palm of his hand he carried the sun. As had been foretold, he was the King's true heir. In his heart resided love, behind his back - betrayal and dark forces. But the throne of Ianon would demand more than prophecy in the claiming. It would demand a war that set kinsman against kinsman, dark against light. The reckoning would be measured in lost souls and blood:- Review(s): "Tarr's unerring instinct for character and drama spiced with casual sensuality, transforms the stuff of convention into a vivid, memorable new tale" - Locus:- (original cost £3.50).…

About the Author
My first novel, The Isle of Glass, appeared in 1985, and eventually won the Crawford Award, as well as being a finalist for the Locus Award for Best First Novel. My YA time-travel science fiction/fantasy/historical novel, Living in Threes, appeared as an ebook from Book View Café in 2012, and is now in print. My new novel, a space opera, will be published by Book View Cafe in 2015. In between, I've written historicals and historical fantasies and epic fantasies, some of which have been reborn as ebooks from Book View Café. Various of my novels have been finalists for the World Fantasy Award and the Locus Award, and I've had short stories reprinted in Year's Best anthologies and collections of classic fantasy, science fiction, and alternate history. I live in Arizona with an assortment of cats, two dogs, and a herd of Lipizzan horses.
