The Eye of the Heron
Page 16
“A brave, multi-talented girl, her interesting friends, and animal characters with minds of their own—this book is a dream date for me.”
—Tamora Pierce
For Elspeth Gordie freedom is—like so much else after the devastation of The Great White—a memory. Feared because of her mysterious mental powers, she and others like her are hunted down like animals.
Tanith Lee
RED UNICORN
“Lavish, whimsical dreamscapes reminiscent of Lewis Carroll. Lee’s charming exuberance is everywhere in evidence, no more so than in Tanaquil’s familiar, a wonderfully comic, cavorting beasty.”
—Publishers Weekly
In this enchanting novel, sorceress Tanaquil is lured by a red unicorn into a mirror world where she encounters Tanakil, a diabolical version of herself.
