Oops — Forgot To Tell You What They’re All About!
Yesterday I shared that the first two novels in Julie Czerneda’s Night’s Edge (Marrowdell) series had just arrived, but I forgot to tell you what they’re all about, which I usually do!
So here’s the backcover text for A Turn Of Light, (Night’s Edge #1):
“The village of Marrowdell is an isolated pioneer community, but it is also the place where two worlds overlap, and at the turn of light–sunset–the world of magic known as the Verge can briefly be seen.
Jenn Nalynn belongs to both Verge and Marrowdell, but even she doesn’t know how special she is–or that her invisible friend Wisp is actually a dragon sent to guard her… and keep her from leaving the valley. But Jenn longs to see the world, and thinking that a husband will help her reach this goal, she decides to create one using spells. Of course, everything goes awry, and suddenly her “invisible friend” has been transformed into a man. But he is not the only newcomer to Marrowdell, and far from the most dangerous of those who are suddenly finding their way to the valley…”
Here’s what fellow authors have to say:

“A warm and intricate fantasy opus with large themes woven into a charming story.” — Charlaine Harris
While here are a few reviewer’s summing up on the matter:

“Have you ever read a book that you fell head over heels in love with purely because the writing was so breathtakingly beautiful? Yeah, well A Turn of Light is one of those … Truly incredible.” — Bookworm Blues
