      Eleanor Knight is spoiled, bored, a stranger to commitment. Then, in another world, a desperate rite of magic sends a summoning, and in a whirling nightmare of hawkflight Eleanor is borne out of her indulgent unhappiness, and into another place.On a wind-lashed coast of endless twilight the Cavers, worshippers of the Moon Goddess Astret, exist in an endless present where none can be born and none can die. Creativity is dead, relationships barren. The Cavers must despair or fight, defying the Sun God Lycias whose High priest Lefevre maintains the Stasis from Peraldonia, an ocean away and basking in ageless pleasure under the relentless brilliance of the summer skies.The rite had been the Cavers' last chance to deal the Stasis a fatal blow; all they achieved was Eleanor who, disoriented and dismayed, wants no part of their problems. But the Moon Goddess will not be denied, and Eleanor sets reluctant foot on her own fated path. A path that will lead her on a dangerous journey southward, beset by the evils of Lefevre's imagining and by the Sun God's tempting deceptions. With her go the driven, tempestuous Caver Lukas Marling, the Peraldonian Phinian Blythe, who has lost everything at Lefevre's hands, and the magnificent, unknowable Arrarat, the sentient hawks who are the Cavers' only allies in their struggle to end the Stasis. But at the end it is to Eleanor, the outsider, that the final, heart-rending agony of choice will fall.

      In freeing the Benu Bird, Eleanor Knight has restored time and the seasons to the people of Chorolon. But the Gods still watch and wait, acting out their desires through the lives of men and women. A dispossessed mage brings death to Shelt, creating an ice-bound city of dazzling sunlight. In the desert the Mage Lefevre takes on a new incarnation, thinking to recapture his lost past in the city of the Sun. But there are challenges to the power of mages, Moon-inspired strategies that work on a very different level... In Shelt, Eleanor's erstwhile lover is married to another, and there is no way through to Lukas, weighed down as he is by duty. Eleanor escapes to England, but a different world offers her no relief. She cannot run forever from the claims of Sun and Moon. She must return, the decision her own this time, to Chorolon, where lies and flames distort every level of truth.
