Description
Ninian is the heir to Arcady, but her happy childhood is brought
abruptly to an end when, in a rite of passage, she and three of her
friends venture into the Barren Lands.
There they hear voices that tell them secrets that shouldn't be shared and give gifts that shatter souls.
None of them will ever be the same again.
Priests struggle with their faith as a deadly plague spreads through the land and evil forces take hold of its people.
There is only one woman destined to save them, brought up to carry the secret of generations which she fiercely guards. The knowledge she possesses offers the only possible form of salvation, a secret which is buried deep within the Avardale lake.
Together with her cousin they must call upon the ancient mysteries of the magical Tearstone and the siren call of a sleeping leviathan.
With the number of deaths increasing and surrounding villages being wiped out, one family must fight to put aside their spiritual differences and risk their lives to save all those who depend on them. The battle which follows is beyond religious explanation as legend becomes reality and hope is all that is left.
DARKFELL is the story of a people under threat of persecution, of a waterborne plague bringing sickness to the healthy. It is the stunning return to the world of IMPERIAL LIGHT.
Mary Corran was born the younger daughter of an art historian and an Aegean Archeologist, which may explain the influence of Greek culture and history on her fantasy novels. Instead of pursuing an academic career, she decided to be a child of the seventies and travel overland to India and back. The need to develop a career sent her back to university to read History at Oxford, and marry a fellow student. After working in the City as an oil analyst for ten years, Mary went on to write the fantasy trilogy Imperial Light, Darkfell and Fate, which Venture Press will be publishing. Also available, a memoir chronicling her years of illness, Wasteland. She currently lives in Eastbourne, United Kingdom, where she is writing a new novel.
