Description
Fiction. Science Fiction. Set a trap for a sorcerer ... without being trapped yourself! Eric Banyon has settled into the New York whirl nicely: he's doing well at Juilliard, he's made a lot of new friends, he's defeated a lord of the Unseleighe Sidhe ... Or has he? Aerune mac Audelaine, whose beloved was killed by mortal men, was determined to destroy the human race until Eric, with a little help from his new friends the Guardians, thwarted Aerune's plans and exposed the chemists whose show more designer poison turned ordinary humans into zombie Mages. The human side of the threat is finished, but Aerune, like the rest of the Sidhe, has a long memory ... and a lot of patience. He's also got Jeanette Campbell, former Threshold Black Ops, and the science behind the murder. Can Eric stop Aerune's latest plan? Only if he finds out about it before it's too late, but between babysitting a visiting Healer, training a banjo-playing Bard, attending his daughter's Underhill Naming ceremony, dealing with a dragon—and trying to survive summer school—Eric's got his hands full. Saving the world has never been more necessary—or come at a higher price. show lessTags

I love Eric Banyon, Ria Llewellyn, Beth Kentraine, Sieur Korendil (Kory).
The story is great. It's fun, and extremely well spun.
Spirits is a riveting tale of Good vs. Evil, with a dark fantastical twist. Though, Spirits is light and silly just when you need it to be.

Rosemary Edghill was born long enough ago to have seen Classic Trek on its first outing and to remember that she once thought Spock Must Die! to be great literature. As she aged, she put aside her fond dreams of taking over for Batman when he retired, and returned to her first love, writing. Her first SF sale (as eluki bes shahar) was the show more Hellflower series, in which Damon Runyon meets Doc Smith over at the old Bester place. Between books and short stories in every genre but the Western (several dozen so far), she's held the usual selection of odd and part-time writer jobs, including bookstore clerk, secretary, beta tester for computer software, graphic designer, book illustrator, library clerk, and administrative assistant for a non-profit arts organization. She can truthfully state that she once killed vampires for a living, and that without any knowledge of medicine has illustrated half-a-dozen medical textbooks show less
