After extensive research, she has extrapolated the personalities of the gods and godesses and interpreted this ancient system for today''s readers.

Ysbryd drwg... the bad ghost Ysobi har Jesith embarks upon a job far from home, where his history isn''t known - a welcome freedom. Hired by Wyva, the phylarch of the Wyvachi tribe, Ysobi goes to Gwyllion to create a spiritual system based upon local folklore, but he soon discovers some of that folklore is out of bounds, taboo... Secrets lurk in the soil of Gwyllion, and the old house Meadow Mynd, home of the Wyvachi leaders. The house and the land are haunted. The fields are soaked in blood and echo with the cries of those who were slaughtered there, almost a century ago. In Gwyllion, the past doesn''t go away, and the hara who live there cling to it, remembering still their human ancestors. Tribal families maintain ancient enmities, inspired by a horrific murder in the past. Old hatreds and a thirst for vengeance have been awoken by the approaching feybraiha - coming of age - of Wvya''s son, Myvyen. If the harling is to survive, Ysobi must help him confront the past, lay the ghosts to rest and scour the tainted soil of malice. But the ysbryd drwg is strong, built of a century of resentment and evil thoughts. Is it too powerful, even for a scholarly hienama with Ysobi''s experience and skill? The Moonshawl, an artefact of protection, was once fashioned to keep Wyvachi heirs from harm, but the threads are old and worn, the magic fading, and its sacred sites - which might empower it once more - are prohibited. Only by understanding what the shawl symbolises and how it once controlled the ysbryd drwg can Ysobi even attempt to prevent the terrible tragedy that looms to engulf the Wyvachi tribe. ''The Moonshawl'' is a standalone story, set in the world of Storm Constantine''s ground-breaking, science fantasy Wraeththu mythos.

The Grigori are an ancient race; powerful people who possess abilities and powers humans do not. They gave rise to the legends of the fallen angels, and their descendents live on among us, hidden within human society, moving wheels within wheels, making changes unseen across the world. The twins Owen and Lily Winter always have always known they are different to everyone else who lives in the quiet village of Little Moor. Their mother is dead and they never discovered who their father was. When the mysterious stranger, Peverel Othman, arrives in Little Moor, their lives are destined to be changed for ever, and ancient secrets are unearthed in the High Place in the forest and the haunted towers of the shuttered and deserted mansion, Long Eden. Among the upper echelons of Grigori society, the search begins for an Anakim - a rogue Grigori whose existence threatens the security of his race and the lives of those who cross his path. Aninka Prussoe, whose own life has been shattered by contact with the Anakim, is among those who are led towards Little Moor and the final climax to a story that never ended and which has haunted both humanity and Grigori alike for millennia. Stalking Tender Prey is the first volume in Storm Constantine''s acclaim Grigori trilogy, examining the myths of the fallen angels and the Nephilim.

In this in-depth study, Constantine states that agmara is the breath of the universe, the rehuna''s own breath, the thought, emotion, the elements, and the stuff of creation.

The young Wraeththu har, Gesaril, has been shamed and cast out of Jesith, after an inappropriate affair with his hienama, Ysobi. Taken in by Huriel Har Kyme, a codexia of the famed Alba Sulh academy, Gesaril vows to begin his life anew, despite the ghosts who haunt him.

When Jassenah har Sulh arrives in the Wraeththu town of Jesith to train magically with the famous hienama Ysobi, he''s unprepared for the effect this har will have on him. Ysobi opens Jassenah''s mind to the potential that hara can reach for and in doing so, also opens his heart. Just as it seems Jassenah has achieved his heart''s desire, a new student arrives, in the form of Gesaril, a damaged young creature with mysteries lurking in his past. The magic of both the unseen world and that of harish emotions conspire to destroy Jassenah''s idyllic life, until he feels he''s forced to stoop to equally cruel methods to salvage his happiness. But at what cost? The Hienama is a rich and deeply erotic tale of the Wraeththu, set in the magical land of Alba Sulh. This is not a story of great leaders who affect the destiny of all, but simply that of hara who live on the land and in the wake of human passing are trying to establish communities. They strive to cast off human limitations but sometimes this task proves difficult, especially when it involves matters of the heart, when all the dark anxieties and jealousy of their previous human condition can rise to torment them. This story is the first in a series of Wraeththu novellas planned by Storm Constantine, involving the hermaphrodite race who comes to replace humanity, first explored in her seminal trilogies: The Wraeththu Chronicles and The Wraeththu Histories.

Through the ancient magic of the Grigori, the rogue Anakim, Peverel Othman, is once again Shemyaza, king of the fallen angels and benefactor of humankind. As the millennium draws to a close, Shemyaza calls his followers to him for the final battle to decide who controls the fate of humanity.

De son côté, Gimel Metatronim, toujours décidée à sauver son peuple, réveille les légendes endormies, et conclut de brûlantes alliances. Entre elles deux se dresse une ombre dangereuse, dont elles ignorent encore le nom... Ce second volume clôt l''ode baroque de Storm Constantine en un crescendo étourdissant, enchaînant révélations et surprises jusqu''à la dernière de ses ligues.

Earth is no longer humanity''s only home. Slowly they have colonised the galaxy, spreading ever outwards into the darkest reaches of Terran space. To some Earth is now a myth, a fairy-tale; stories told to them by their grand parents when they were children. To others the Earth is still the place they call home: a bleak, inescapable fact that must be endured in order to survive. In this exciting collection of stories chronicling the turbulent events of humanity''s struggle for survival six hundred years in our future, some of today''s leading science fiction writers take us from the vast depths of uncharted space to the surface of a shockingly different planet Earth, where civilisation is desperately trying to preserve the last shreds of its human identity.

Estranged from his brother-in-law, Khaster Leckery flees to the mountain battle zone, determined to die. However, once there a dying old man seizes him and spits in his face, changing him into Taropat, a Breeland mage, determined to ensure the child of destiny will arise and overthrow the empire.
