The author of many acclaimed works of science fiction and fantasy, Storm Constantine is best known for her daring, stylish, and provocative Wraeththu trilogy. The series, which chronicled the rise of a new race of seductive androgynous beings with awesome powers, was hailed as a modern fantasy masterpiece, winning an avid international following of devoted readers.
In her current series, Constantine has returned to the world of the Wraeththu and the history of the first ruling dynasty in Immanion. The Shades of Time and Memory continues the story of the emotional struggle between the triad of Pellaz, the Tigron of all the Wraeththu; Caeru, the Tigrina chosen for him by Thiede, and hostling of Pellaz's heir; and Calanthe, the Tigrina of Pellaz's heart - Cal, who incepted Pellaz and murdered Thiede, and whose wild seductive nature captivates all who know him.
But while these three struggle for mortal political power, others are discovering that the psychic abilities of the Wraeththu and their sisters, the Kamagrian, are far greater, and far stranger, than any of them had ever supposed.
