FANTASY NOVELS BY NANCY VARIAN BERBERICK

                      GARROC'S TALES: 

In Britain, during the dark age after King Arthur's death, 
when the race of Men is rising, and the race of Dwarfs is 
ending, the Dwarf-skald Garroc tells his tales to Ellisif 
Hinthan's daughter, fabulous histories of gods and men, with 
the names of the old Saxon kings for gold; for the heart-
stopping flash of silver, the deeds of mad Welshmen drunk 
with glory.

SHADOW OF THE SEVENTH MOON (Ace 1991, 303 pp, paperback)

Garroc tells Ellisif Hinthan's daughter of a time when he 
was known as Silent Skald, weaving the history of his ancient 
race with the tale of his love for a Dwarf-witch, and of his 
ghost-haunted flight from berserker-madness -- a flight doomed 
to fail unless he can offer gifts of courage and hope to the 
boy Hinthan, a Man-child orphaned by war, and then accept these 
very gifts from Hinthan's own hand.

``For lovers of ancient lore... Berberick has woven a beautiful 
novel...'' --The Knoxville News-Sentinel

THE PANTHER'S HOARD (Ace, 1994, 291 pp, paperback)

The swords of kings are raised against their own sons. 
Changelings work black sorcery in the hearts of honest men.  
And the life of an exiled human prince rests in the hands of 
Garroc Ghosts-Skald, who must lead the child home through 
the darkest realm of war -- the land of his own elder-gods 
of battle.

``Blends fantasy, mythology and history in a dazzling 
combination.  One of the few books I would unhesitatingly 
hand to someone asking for a book `Like Tolkien'; it 
doesn't suffer in comparison.'' -- Kliatt


                     THE ELVISH NOVELS: 

The story of the Twin Kingdoms of Elves and Men, and the 
alliance these age-old enemies forged to defeat an evil 
sorcerer whose deeds of dark magic are longer-lived than 
either of the allies imagine.

THE JEWELS OF ELVISH (TSR 1989, 346 pp, paperback)

Nikia, daughter of the Elf-king, is wed to the human prince 
Garth. To the marriage Nikia brings her strange, magical ways 
and an ancient family heirloom, the Ruby of Guyaire. When the 
ruby is stolen, its true worth is discovered--nothing but it 
will save the Twin Kingdoms from the evil of the Sorcerer. 
Nikia must recover the jewel, no matter the cost.

A CHILD OF ELVISH (Ace 1992, 282 pp, paperback)

The Twin Kingdoms are dying of the Sorcerer's last curse, 
ravaged by plague and drought.  Mourning for the dying 
kingdom, the ghost of a long-dead queen sends two soldiers 
-- one Mannish, one Elvish -- on a quest to steal a child 
made for magic; Nikia's daughter, who alone may save the 
kingdoms.

``Berberick makes a special effort to interest the reader 
in her character's emotional lives, taking the novel a step 
beyond an action narrative.'' -- The Charlotte Observer
