‘Tanith Lee at her finest: sombre, passionate, glittering, rich, imaginative, flashing with stiletto wit’ British Fantasy Society Bulletin
Azhriaz, daughter of Azhrarn, Demon Lord of the Night, has defied her father’s wishes. Taking on the mantle of Delirium’s Mistress, she escapes her island prison in the Underearth, where she would have spent her life in eternal slumber. With her lover she flees to the mortal realm of the Flat Earth to escape her father’s wrath.
But the lovers’ journey has not left the world untouched. In the wake of their flight, bizarre new enchantments emerge, exposing a world of chaos and mystery. The mortals of the Flat Earth are caught in the middle of these conflicts of ambition and betrayal.
NIGHT’S SORCERIES spins seven of these tales of wonder – of humans confronted with the supernatural in these trials of true love, tests of humility and fortitude, and startling transformation.
