Gate of Darkness, Circle of Light
is by the eloquent
Canadian
author
Tanya Huff
. The first book I ever read by her, it had me by the first chapter.
The blurb off the
omnibus
collection
of
Gate of Darkness, Circle of Light
and
The Fire's Stone
reads:
The Wild Magic was loose in
Toronto
, for an Adept of Darkness had broken through the barrier into the everyday
mortal world
. But even in this age when only
fools
and
innocents
still believed in
magic
, there were still a few champions of the Light: Rebecca, who some called simple yet who was gifted with the
Sight
; Roland, a street musician who might one day be a
Bard
; Mrs. Ruth, a bag lady with some unexpected tricks in her bags; Daru, an overworked
social worker
; Tom a
cat
of rare vision and courage; and Evan, Adept of the Light, summoned to stand with them in the desperate battle to keep
Earth
from falling into final, total Darkness...
If you like
contemporary fantasy
, read this book. You will laugh. You will cry. You will swear at her editors for not letting her write the sequel... And then you will go out and buy more of her
books
.
