World Fantasy Award-Winner First time available in an e-book edition "Rich and regal." —The New York Times Young Sybel, the heiress of powerful wizards, needs the company of no-one outside her gates. In her exquisite stone mansion, she is attended by exotic, magical beasts: Riddle-master Cyrin the boar; the treasure-starved dragon Gyld; Gules the Lyon, tawny master of the Southern Deserts; Ter, the fiercely vengeful falcon; Moriah, feline Lady of the Night. Sybel only lacks the exquisite and mysterious Liralen, which continues to elude her most powerful enchantments. But Sybel's solitude is to be shattered when a desperate soldier arrives bearing a mysterious child. Soon Sybel will discover that the world of men is full of love, deceit, and the temptations of vast power.

That was so beautiful!
I was never a fan of flowery and lyrical prose in books. But this book, THIS. Patricia somehow made me engrossed in her writings without my knowledge. Every sentence pulled me into the story. Sybel's story was wonderful! A tale about love, revenge and letting go. Just beautiful.
This was a blind date with a book I received earlier in the year and I wish I read it sooner. It may be a short book but it is so beautifully written I'll be thinking of this one for a while.
