Torn between his love of artistic beauty and his mandate to destroy it, Llewelyn continues to stand trial for his life. Or is it for his death?Let's play a game of choice and consequences. What if you had to destroy everything you ever loved - or suffer eternal damnation?Enter the dark. Editorial Reviews'Brilliant. Unforgettable. Poetic. Hecate's Glory - like Enemy Glory, the first book in Karen Michalson's proposed trilogy - is a masterpiece of fantasy. You don't read these books: you experience them. It's like listening to beautiful alien music whose slow, hypnotizing melodies could either originate from an ancient, long-forgotten race or some madwoman's dreams. The lyrical narrative is equally fascinating and disturbing. . . . If you're looking for a light read, stay away from these novels. Michalson's series is heavy in every sense of the word. If you enjoy stories that are complex and intellectually as well as morally challenging, I highly recommend Enemy Glory and Hecate's Glory - dark, cerebral fantasy with enough treachery and revenge to satisfy even the blackest heart.' - Paul Goat Allen, Barnes & Noble, from a review of the Enemy Glory series'Here's a little something for Enemy Glory fans who've been wondering whatever happened to Karen Michalson's luckless Llewelyn. Hecate's Glory will fill you in on the whole gory, blasting, twisted, dark deal that Michalson's devilish imagination has rendered in ink - maybe it was blood. If you like your fantasy dark, depressing, and a little disturbing then Hecate's Glory won't disappoint. . . . Frankly, I'm wondering how many mediocre, pulp churning, New York Times List-making successful writers could meet Michalson's well-crafted writing quality, or even read well enough to clue into her devastating deconstruction of the literary world.' - Eva Wojcik-Obert, Fantastica Daily, from a review of the Enemy Glory series'Llewelyn might say he serves evil - and, in truth, he's no saint - but he remains a truly likable and, oddly enough, decent person. Michalson's study of the darkness and light in every soul has created a powerful and memorable character.' - Penny Kenny, Starlog, from a review of the Enemy Glory series
