The evil wizard Meeks has finally been dealt with, and all seems at peace. But, even in a Magic Kingdom, peace never lasts long.

There the Lady Cerilla is betrothed to Arlen; betrothed and doomed. For Arlen is the chosen Winterking of the Sacred Isle - his fate to marry, enjoy the love of his bride for but a single night, and then to die, a sacrifice to the island's jealous goddess. But Cerilla and Arlen trick the priestesses and flee. Across perilous lands awash with magic and the powers of spirits they ride. But they are not alone; a presence travels with them, finally summoning Cerilla back to deadly combat with the immortals:- Review(s): "Springer writes with depth and subtlety. And the topography is as vivid as are lands of dreams and nightmares. Cerilla is a worthy heroine, her story richly mythic" - Publishers Weekly / "Three cheers for a genuinely new fantasy writer" - Anne McCaffrey:- (original cost £2.95).

Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). 1987 Edition. © 1986: 2nd in the 'Twilight Of The Gods' series of books. 1st printing of 1987 edition:- Synopsis: Voden of the Aesir left Asgard seeking the truth about himself and the part he must play in the coming conflict. At Mimir's Well he was granted knowledge - and the searing pain that must accompany it. But Voden's people, the Aesir, were hard pressed: their new, but uncertain, woodland allies, the Vanir, were riven by discord, their dark traditions questioned by new leaders; while to the north the Jotuns, under a potent Warlord, began again to flex their muscles. And in the dark south of Muspellheim, Surt, the Black One, whose soul burned with hatred for all the North, and Asgard in particular, had established his foul strength. All the world seemed set for conflict; ice, forest, desert, north and south, east and west. The gods themselves were riven. Yet perhaps one mortal, of the Aesir, was destined for more than a mortal's doom:- (original cost £2.50).
