Octoberland

Summary

“One of the most inventive imaginary world settings.” (Orlando Sentinel)  “Altogether remarkable…innovative, intricate, intriguing and accomplished!” (Kirkus Reviews)  “Saturated with visceral and emotional impact…an absorbing read!” (SFX Magazine)  A Manhattan coven, Octoberland, weaves ancient black magic to preserve the life of its 7,000-year-old leader, Nox. The sorcerer staves off death by leaching years from his followers’ blood. But Nox’s reckless search for eternal youth has opened the gate to - Irth. From this alien world of wizards, witch queens, and blacker magic yet, goblins invade Earth!  Meanwhile, on Irth darkness lurks at the heart of a city rebuilt from ashes - as a weak-minded ruler and his renegade witch wife hoard technological trinkets from the Dark Shore…from Earth.  Automatic weapons challenge talismanic magic and the amulet power of Charm. Evil threatens two worlds - Irth and Earth - in the stunning climax of The Dominions of Irth.
