The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit
"Terror hung in the air like the foul-smelling smoke from a gutted
house, where people have been burned alive inside. I could feel it.
"Wraeththu. I shiver to say the word. Something has happened to them.
Where did they come from? How did it happen? Why is it spreading like a
plague? "I have seen. I have seen what they do. I have seen their
faces. They always take their dead with them, always. There is a
secret. Dont you understand? A secret. Wraeththu are not what they
seem. They are more than they seem."
Ground-breaking when they
first appeared, the Wraeththu Chronicles chart the history of a new
race of hermaphrodite beings who come to replace humanity on Earth.
Daring, erotic and magical, these editions include ‘deleted scenes’,
which have now been restored and expanded. The book also includes new
chapter heading illustrations by acclaimed fantasy artist, Ruby.
