Arthor— (1994-1999) Written as A.A. Attanasio. Publisher: A queen, a pilgrim, a demon — and a king with a world to save. Beneath every beloved legend there is a deeper legend still, etched in ancient stone. The Dragon and the Unicorn begins before the beginning of Time, as light first cools to matter, bearing within it the electron glow of lost Heaven. Attanasio's epic tale of a quest for immortality spans all history, human and demihuman, from the dung fires on the steppes to the snows of Himalayas, from the mudhut cities on the Euphrates to the glass and steel towers of tomorrow, from the hunt for the Unicorn's horn to the ceaseless wars of elf and dragon, Celt and Roman. It is a quest that end — and begins — in a legend-heavy place at the edge of the Western Sea, with the first cry of a King new born. A place called Tint gel. A King, the Heir Pendragon, called Eagle of Thor, or… Arthor. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Publisher: There are seven Dominion of Irth, rules by the benevolent wizarduke Lord Drev — a once-peaceful world now torn asunder by the vengeful and might Dark Lord.

But the Abyss into which he was cast for his abominations has transformed the baseborn Wrat into Hu'dre Vra — a foul being of great, godless power and undiminished fury. He is now the Dark Lord, crossing over from the Dark Shore with is nightmare hordes of winged flesh-devouring cacodemons — determined to devastate the world that rejected him... and remake it in his own vile image.

Stand-alone novels:
Killing with the Edge of the Moon — (2006) Publisher: "Blud-eye-eth is a fabled woman of Celtic myth." The witch's eyes shone in the dark like tiny silver mirrors. "The name means 'Flower Face,' which is the owl's poetic nickname, the bird who steals souls — for Blud-eye-eth was a woman made from magic and flowers and, like the owl, she had no soul of her own." The speaker is a hickory-faced crone trying to explain to Chet, a shy kid with eyeglasses and pocket protector, why he can't take her granddaughter to the high school dance. For quiet, elfin Flannery is not like other kids. A living Blud-eye-eth, she has caught the attention of the faerie, beautiful evil creatures from a mysterious Otherworld, who seduce their victims with moonlight raves before feeding them to a dragon and hunting souls with a supernatural black dog of prodigious evil. And they have taken Flannery for one of their own. And she won't be going to the school dance-not unless Chet rescues her. This modern, demonic fairy tale weaves together themes of passion and self-discovery
