About this title

Synopsis

A whisperjewel summoned him to Worlorn, and a love he thought heā d lost. But Worlorn isnā t the world Dirk tā Larien imagined, and Gwen Delvano is no longer the woman he once knew. She is bound to another man, and to a dying planet that is trapped in twilight, forever falling toward night. Amid this bleak landscape is a violent clash of cultures in which there is no code of honorā and the hunter and the hunted are often interchangeable.

Caught up in a dangerous triangle, Gwen is in need of Dirkā s protection, and he will do anything to keep her safe, even if it means challenging the barbaric man who has claimed herā and his cunning cohort. But an impenetrable veil of secrecy surrounds them all, and itā s becoming impossible for Dirk to distinguish between his allies and his enemies. While each will fight to stay alive, one is waiting for escape, one for revenge, and another for a brutal, untimely demise.

About the Author

George R.R. Martin published his first story in 1971 and quickly rose to prominence, winning four HUGO and two NEBULA Awards in quick succession before he turned his attention to fantasy with the historical horror novel FEVRE DREAM, now a Fantasy Masterwork. Since then he has won every major award in the fields of fantasy, SF and horror. His magnificent epic saga A Song of Ice and Fire is redefining epic fantasy for a new generation, and is the basis for the hit HBO series GAME OF THRONES. George R.R. Martin lives in New Mexico.
