Riders of the Storm

An unabashed romantic and optimist, Julie E. Czerneda finds something remarkable wherevershe looks. Dragons and magic—and house toads—hold a special place in her heart—and in the heart of her Night’s Edge series. As a former biologist, her studies of the natural world heavily influence the imaginative landscapes in these books. A Turn of Light and A Play of Shadow—the first two books set in Julie’s magical world of Marrowdell—won international Aurora PrixAwards for Best SF/F novels. Shortly thereafter, she was awarded membership in the prestigious Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame. Julie sends her earnest thanks to you, her dedicated and kind readers, as well as to the tireless and passionate team at DAW Books who have shepherded both her fantasy and science fiction novels into bookstores for over twenty years.
