Dreaming in Amber

You are pursued by the shadows of death, girl. The weight you will carry is more than any mortal should bear. But bear it you must.' Meg Farmer doesn’t believe in magic and she certainly doesn’t believe that she has inherited the Blessing, despite her mother’s best hopes and prayers. But when an ancient sliver of amber reveals the truth, Meg’s life is changed forever. She is called to the city to be trained as a Seer, against the wishes of those who think a woman should be kept from such knowledge. This path takes her into unknown territory, especially when she unwittingly opens a portal into the grey dust of Se’eya, the world of the ancient Andrakian Dragonlords. And, there finds a trapped soul...

Meg Farmer is a young woman whose powers as a Seer have allowed her to enter Se'treya, the land of the ancient Andrakian Dragonlords. Now, years later, her three grandchildren work as an assassin, a thief and a prostitute, and they know nothing about their grandmother's true identity. When the Seers move to take over and stamp their fundamentalist beliefs on the City, Meg's descendants find themselves entangled in the politics and prophecies of an ancient, dangerous world...and Meg must decide, how to best help them.

The gripping final book in this exceptional series 'Epic ... immensely satisfying' Good Reading 'If men of evil come seeking death, you are not responsible for their fate.' Now that Prince Shadow is King of Kerwyn, and the Seers more powerful than ever, Meg must accept her destiny and attempt to stop the release of the apocalyptic Demon Horsemen. the Seers are equally determined to fulfil their religious dream of a new and cleansed paradise, and will unleash total destruction on the world in their desperation. It seems only Meg and Ahmud Ki have the means to defeat them: a forgotten weapon from the ancient Andrakian kingdom. But using it will mean great sacrifice ...the gripping and dramatic conclusion to this epic series. Praise for tony Shillitoe and Dreaming in Amber 'epic in scope ... immensely satisfying' Good Reading ***** 'magic, action and wonder ... but with the style that marks Shillitoe as the premier writer of fantasy in this country' Nexus
