Armorica: Chronicles of the House of Darkling

In the sequel to Riverrun, young Theo Etchison is drawn into Strang's terrifying dimension and begins a bizarre odyssey across an inverted land.
"the finest new series of the 90s thus far... fantasy novels don't come any better than this!
the makings of a classic!" - Edward Bryant

"Somtow himself, with a poet's cunning,
arranges it all into what could be described as, like, Dante for the next millenium"
- Faren Miller in LOCUS

"an object lesson in the potential of fantasy - erudition and post-modern pop awareness spice the narrative
- adventurous, stirring writing, and
Somtow's powerful, lucid prose glows with internal energy and intensity."
- The London Times

There is a twisted mirror-America somewhere past the boundaries of our dimension-where the Darkling conjurers do battle with dreams for possession of the ultimate prize - the world of men

On a journey across the Arizona desert, the Etchison family ceased to exist -
only to be returned to their fragile reality through the courage of young
Theo Etchison, Truthsayer. Now the tides of the universe have shifted - reshaping and distorting a mortal world coveted by the warring dragon - children of the Darkling King Strang. And once again, Theo is drawn into Strang's terrifying dimension - to play King's fool on a bizarre odyssey across an inverted land...
and to rescue his own brother, seduced by the demon forces of darkness,
from the hell that has claimed him.
