On the River, after the fall of Amberlight, Tellurith and her folk meet the greatest crisis of all...

Demolition

A great lord's power and position, lost...

A seven-hundred year old regime, collapsed...

Love and loyalty tried past breaking point....

Destruction

Bloody revolution...

A threat become loss too tragic to forget....

Discovery

Goals suffered and sacrificed for, to evaporate in the hands...

Love undreamt of, unheralded, unforeseen...

Secrets to shatter an empire....

Disaster

Loss of love, loss of home, loss and more loss in battle...

Grief, torment, immanent ruin of all dreams, all hopes....

Revelation

Calamity, shock, enemies' dissolution...

Undreamt of victory...

Secrets that transform the heart....

Resolution

Love renewed, recovered, forever changed...

Love, after long suffering, fulfilled....

Renewal

A new dawn for the River...

A new, utterly different life...

"Amberlight is peopled with vivid characters that stormed up off the page into permanent residence in my mind and memory, in a unique world, and driving an original plot. If some writers' prose sings, Kelso's is an opera." —Lois ​McMaster ​Bujold, Author of Paladin of Souls​ .

"Sumptuous, sensuous, and passionate, ​​Amberlight is completely delightful. Sylvia Kelso is a master of world-building, beautiful prose, and sheer romance.​" —Delia Sherman,​ co-author of​ The Fall of the Kings
