QUICKSILVER. SECOND BOOK OF THE LADY TREE TRILOGY.
London: HarperCollins 1999. 464 pp 9 1/2" H. "Quicksilver is part romance part psychologicl thriller. Richly evocative and subtly erotic it gives a fascinating insight into the myth of the werewolf. Raised in exile as an English gentleman trying to forget a tragic past Ned Malise wanted only to be left alone with his music his rich daydreams and his love for Marika. But at the age of thirty-three he suddenly began to turn into a wolf. Or so it seemed in 1638 when werewolves were still tried and hanged like witches. On the run from hunters with dogs Ned takes refuge with the woman he has loved from a distance all his life who must herself in turn make a terrifying decision. Then Ned finds that rescue can be even more horrifying than execution. Set in England and Holland in a world where medieval superstition still warred with the emerging experimental sciences of the Age of Reason it moves from court intrigue to back-street quacks from the healing power of music to the deadly hunger of intellectual ambition. From the horror of Ned's first unravelling by his Wolf by way of one of the strangest yet most satisfying love stories seen outside myth it propels the reader to an astonishing but exhilarating end - and stretches our understanding of the beast that lurks in man." Dust jacket has very light edge wrinkling. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. HarperCollins Hardcover

Only those born with the gift could learn to Sing these spirits of earth air fire and water into doing their bidding and even someone as gifted as the Princess Annice must spend years studying at the Bardic Hall to truly master the art. And for Annice one of those rare talents able to Sing the elemental spirits from each of the four quarters the call of magic was too strong to be denied even if it meant renouncing her royal blood and privileges. But Annice might have made a different choice if she could have foreseen that ten years after she'd transferred her life and loyalties from the royal palace to the Bardic Hall she'd find herself fleeing from the King's Guards. For Annice was twice guilty of treason first for imperiling the order of succession by becoming pregnant and second for aiding the father of her unborn child the Duc of Ohrid to escape the palace dungeons and the sentence of death hanging over his head. Now the fugitives' only hope lay in tracking down and bringing to justice the enemy who'd masterminded the Duc's downfall a dangerous foe who had found a way to tie lies and truths together into a knot even the most powerful of Bardic spells could not unravel."
