The Forgotten Beasts of Eld

World Fantasy Award 1975, Mythopoeic Fantasy Award nominee 1975.

Spun from threads of gold and living dreams of ancient powers, THE FORGOTTEN BEASTS OF ELD is the story of Sybel, the ivory-haired wizard, who, with a touch of her mind, summons a kingdom of magical beasts – each with a superhuman power. Together they must undertake a wondrous quest across shimmering, fabled Eldwold and beyond, through dynastic was and chilling sorcery, before Sybel learns the power of human love.

Under a crystal dome
in the forests of an enchanted
world, unfolds this adventure of ancient
powers, spun with threads of gold and the
living dreams of the uncorrupted sorceress, Sybel.
