Review:
Tanith Lee, winner of the August Derleth Award and several World Fantasy Awards, has created a fascinating alternate Venice in her Secret Books of Venus, a proposed four-novel series based on ancient concepts surprisingly scarce in fantasy: alchemy and the four elements. Available now are Book I, Faces Under Water, and Book II, Saint Fire; they can be enjoyed out of order, for they have self-contained plots and no shared characters. Inspired by the Joan of Arc legend, Saint Fire explores the mysteries of faith, love, power, and the miraculous. Dark, ironic, insightful, and elegantly written, Saint Fire is classic Tanith Lee.
About the Author:
Volpa is just another slave, until her pale beauty and fiery hair attract the lustful attention of a brutal owner. A mysterious conflagration leaves her free, unharmed, without memory--and in the power of the Church, whose ambitious leaders have conflicting plans for her. Some believe she is touched by the Divine; others see her fire-power as Satanic and will stop at nothing to destroy her. --Cynthia Ward
Tanith Lee is one of the leading fantasy authors working today. She has written over 50 novels and short story collections, among them the bestselling Flat Earth Series. She has won the World Fantasy Award numerous times as well as the August Derleth Award.
