> Fiction Books > Science Fiction / Fantasy Books

A supernatural dark fantasy from the award-winning author of 'Angel Of Ruin', 'The Resurrectionists' and 'The Infernal'.

Christine Starlight has never forgotten the best friend of her childhood, the strange, red-haired Mayfridh, whom she believes was murdered 25 years ago. Mayfridh has just remembered Christine and for a short time the human world and faery are in conjunction. Abducted by the barren king and queen of a Germanic faeryland, Mayfridh has since grown up and succeeded to the throne of the Autumn Castle, lonely and reliant on the counsel of the wolf Eisengrimm.

In the meantime, Christine has endured chronic pain from an accident, with only the small consolation of her patient partner Jude, who has brought her to an artist's colony in Berlin. When Mayfridh decides to come looking for her childhood friend, she finds Jude first and falls instantly and madly in love with him. With the help of the witch Hexebart, she learns Jude's dread secret.

But it isn't merely jealousy and secrets that could tear them all apart. Watching over them is the cruel but brilliant billionaire Immanuel Z, a murderer who is gathering faery bones for a grand sculpture . . .

About the Author: Kim Wilkins

Kim Wilkins was born in London in 1970 and for the first few years of life lived at the Wimbledon tennis centre, where her father ran the New Zealand club. She returned to Australia just before her fourth birthday, and moved into a creepy old Queenslander a block from the beach at Redcliffe where she developed a love of the sea and her favourite thing to do was to sit in the long grass on the cliffs and write stories.

Kim's first novel was published in 1997. The Infernal went on to win the Aurealis Awards for best horror novel and best fantasy novel that year, and has to date been published in the UK, Germany and France. Her second book Grimoire followed in 1999, and The Resurrectionists was published by HarperCollins in 2000. With a love for classic literature, Kim's been studying at university since 1995, accumlating an Honours degree, a Masters degree and a University Medal. She's currently working on a doctoral thesis in British Romanticism at University of Queensland.
