Reunited with the family she left behind as a child, Dion Holyhands finds her cherished homeland of Moira overrun by marauding Witch Hunters and dreaded Fire Angels. She soon realises that she must use her incredible powers to help save her land and its people from the grip of the Great Destroyer. Thrust in a morass of court intrigue, political conspiracy and furious passion, Dion is forced to confront the deadly but seductive world of demons. Ultimately it is own her strength of will, and the pure heart and bravery of the man she loves, that will serve as her only weapons against the arch necromancer who would make her his queen. Fire Angels won the 1998 Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novel.
Provincial and naive -- and the most powerful mage in the realm -- young Dion Holyhands is an innocent adrift in a world of intrigues and treacheries; a world where foul, hungry demons lurking just beyond its borders. And now she has been called upon to serve her Duke's favourite mistress: the extraordinary Kitten Avignon, Our Lady of Roses. The mesmerising courtesan is a woman in dire jeopardy, stalked by a fearsome necromancer who will not sleep until his beautiful prey suffers horribly and is destroyed. And with Evil's night approaching, shielding the Lady and herself from harm will require every ounce of a power Dion is only beginning to recognise and fear; a great gift suddenly imperiled by blossoming womanhood and dangerous desire.
