FANTASY NOVELS BY PHYLLIS EISENSTEIN

BORN TO EXILE 

Alaric the minstrel was discovered, newborn, alone on a 
hillside, a bloody, severed hand clutching his ankles.  Now 
he moves through a world of medieval superstition and 
cruelty, trying to hide the power that he never asked for, 
that would brand him a feared and hated witch and expose him 
to constant danger of death -- the ability to transport 
himself instantaneously to any place he has ever visited or 
seen.  Yet, sometimes, to save himself or someone else, he 
must use that power.  And so he can never stop wandering, 
never find a place where he can settle down in safety... 
until he meets the one-handed midwife who knows how to find 
his lost and immensely powerful family.  

(Arkham House, 202 pages, with illustrations by Stephen 
Fabian.  Hardcover, first edition, autographed.)


SORCERER'S SON

Cray Ormoru is the son of the sorceress Delivev and -- they 
believe -- of the mysterious, wandering knight Mellor, whom 
Delivev nursed back to health, and who disappeared before 
Cray was born.  Though schooled in sorcery, Cray wants to 
follow in his father's footsteps, and he sets off on a quest 
to discover his unknown heritage, not knowing that it bears 
no resemblance at all to his assumptions.  His efforts to 
find his father's origins and to reunite his broken family 
take him through dangers both ordinary and sorcerous, and 
ultimately lead him to the strange and wonderful demon 
worlds, where creatures made of flame or cloud, ice or 
water, wait to be called to slavery by sorcerous masters.  

(British edition from Grafton Books, 379 pages.  The only 
hardcover edition.  Autographed.)


THE CRYSTAL PALACE

Cray Ormoru, now a full-fledged sorcerer, devises the Mirror 
of Heart's Desire and sees in it the image of a young woman.  
But when he tracks her down, he finds that she lives in a 
palace in the depths of the demon world of Ice, and, totally 
dedicated to the study of sorcery, she is as cold and 
unfeeling as any ice demon.  In taking on the task of making 
her human and willing her affection, Cray exposes himself to 
human, sorcerous, and demon dangers, and must ultimately 
confront the person responsible for her existence, her 
passionate and psychotic sorcerer grandfather.  

(British edition from Grafton Books, 286 pages.  The only 
hardcover edition.  Autographed.)
