Hailed as "a literary fantasist of outstanding power and originality"
by Michael Moorcock and "a mythmaking Gothic queen" by Neil Gaiman,
Storm Constantine is one of the most exciting and innovative fantasy
writers of her generation. The author of many acclaimed works of
science fiction and fantasy, she is best known for her daring, stylish
and provocative "Wraeththu" trilogy (The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit, The Bewitchments of Love and Hate, The Fulfilments of Fate and Desire).
The series, which chronicled the rise of a new race of seductive
androgynous beings, with awesome powers, was hailed as a modern fantasy
masterpiece, winning an avid international following of devoted readers.
In
her current series of work, Constantine has returned to the world of
the Wraeththu, and the history of the first ruling dynasty in Immanion.Shades of Time and Memory continues the story of the emotional struggle
between the triad of Pellaz, the Tigron of all the Wraeththu; Caeru,
the Tigrina chosen for him by Thiede, and hostling of Pellaz's heir;
and Calanthe, the Tigrina of Pellaz' heart – Cal who incepted Pellaz,
murdered Thiede, and whose wild seductive nature captivates all who
know him.
But while these three struggle for mortal political
power, others are discovering that the psychic abilities of the
Wraeththu and their sisters, the Kamagrian, are far greater, and far
stranger, than any of them had ever supposed.
