Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. First Edition. Hardcover UK, first printing and true first edition. (No US publication for any book in this excellent fantasy series.) As New (unread) copy in As New (pristine) jacket. Not a book club, remainder or ex-library copy. Pen name for author David Rain. The Fifth and final Book of The Orokon series. The final volume in Arden's five-volume apocalyptic fantasy epic comprising macabre humor, horror, dark fantasy and mysticism all set in a world equivalent to our 17th century Europe, where the world-saving youth begins the quest as a remarkably unlikable, selfish and immature young man, a refreshing break from the one dimensional, wholesome hero-types we usually get in quest fantasy novels. Arden is relatively unknown in the U.S. and deserves more recognition. Tragically, we lost Tom Arden's voice in 2015. Innovative adult fantasy at its very best. Beautiful dust jacket illustration by Kevin Jenkins. Jenkins, Kevin (illustratore). Book.…

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condizione: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. 1999 Edition. © 1998: 2nd in the 'Orokon' series of books. 1st printing of 1999 edition:- Synopsis: Once there was a land with five evil kings, and each king had an evil queen. These were the King and Queen of Quills, of Wheels, of Spires, of Rings. Most powerful of all, most wicked of all and, above all, most feared, were the King and Queen of Swords. That was long ago, and now the King and Queen of Swords are only painted faces on playing cards, flicking across the green baize of gaming tables. Or are they? For Jemany Vexing, true prince of Ejland and Key to the Orokon, keeps hearing their names, in song and in story, as he sets out on the second stage of his quest, seeking the long-lost mystic crystals of the gods. On the run and lying low, disguised as a wandering Vaga-player, Jem is making for the great southern city of Agondon, where he hopes the mysterious guardian promised to him by the enigmatic harlequin will guide him to the green Crystal of Viana. But Lord Empster is not all he appears, and Jem must wonder if he is good or evil - until adventure overtakes him and there is no time to wonder any more:- Review(s): "A triumph of which Arden should be justly proud" - SFX / "Arden is a very stylish writer" - Interzone:- (original cost £6.99).

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condizione: Very Good: Light signs of wear. 2001 Edition. © 2000: 4th in the 'Orokon' series of books. 1st printing of 2001 edition:- Synopsis: In a time lost in legend, the Isles of Wenaya were united in worship of Javander, goddess of the seas. From her fantastical palace beneath the waves, Javander presided over a caste of priestesses, linked in a thrumming psychic web. Then the web was broken, Javander's people turned to false gods and the priestesses who once served her so well became the evil Sisterhood of the Blue Storm. Ten boys on the cusp of adulthood arrive on the empty tropical island of Xaro to undergo their Manhood Trial, an age-old ritual meant to build character as they leave childhood behind. They thought they could survive alone. But that was before the killing began. That was before the Blue Storm. To this island of dark magic come Jem and his companions, pursuing their mystic quest for the long lost crystals of the Orokon, desperate to find Javander's blue jewel before Jem's evil rival, the anti-god Toth-Vexrah, gets there. Never has the quest been so perilous:- Review(s): "It's grim. It's witty. The story is so cleverly written, the characters are so engaging / enraging.

Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. © 2000: 4th in the 'Orokon' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: In a time lost in legend, the many Isles of Wenaya were united in worship of Javander, goddess of the seas. From her vast, fantastical palace beneath the waves, Javander presided over a caste of priestesses, linked in a thrumming psychic web. Then the web was broken, Javander's people turned to false gods and the priestesses who once served her so well became the evil Sisterhood of the Blue Storm.

Never has the quest been so perilous. Meanwhile the beautiful young Triarch's daughter, Selinda, determined to escape ritual murder, begins a strange odyssey of her own that soon entangles her in Jem's quest. And so begins a bizarre and phantasmagorical tale, where slave galleys, ghost ships, shipwrecks and sea monsters are only preludes to Jem's confrontation with the evil Sisterhood. Bursting with marvels and strange magic, 'Sisterhood Of The Blue storm', the fourth volume in Tom Arden's enthralling fantasy epic, is a whirling fantasia of swashbuckling adventure, tragedy and triumph, of comedy and romance, of heart-stopping action and unforgettable, larger-than-life characters, caught up in a quest on which hangs the fate of the world:- Review(s): "It's grim.

Hardback: 9½" x 6¼". Condizione: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. © 2001: 5th in the 'Orokon' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Long ago, the mysterious bearers of a golden, magical jewel retreated to the Lamasery of the Winds, high in the mountains, seeking transcendence into another dimension. Then came the avalanche, just in the moment when transcendence was nigh. Many think the lamasery has been destroyed. Others know the truth is stranger by far. Caught between dimensions, its powers persist and grow. But are the powers of good - or welling, insidious evil? Returning at last to his rightful kingdom, Prince Jemany faces the final conflict in his desperate battle to reunite the sacred Crystals of Orok and defeat his evil rival, the anti-god Toth-Vexrah, whose campaign of conquest is now almost complete. In an icy, midwinter city, ravaged by terrorism, brutal murder and impending war, Jem struggles for clues to his last, most mysterious and most powerful prize, the searing, sun-like crystal of the sky god Agonis. Meanwhile, Cata, Jem's lost beloved, is embroiled with the rebels and their sinister mastermind Bob Scarlet, whose increasingly wild and dangerous plans threaten their lives almost as much as the machinations of their enemies. Only after a terrifying escape from near-death can Jem reunite himself with Cata and, together with their loyal companions Rajal, Littler and Myla, ready themselves for a last-ditch race against time - and Toth - to seize the final crystal and save the world from doom. From its mysterious opening scenes to its devastating climax, 'Empress Of The Endless Dream', the fifth and final volume of Tom Arden's apocalyptic fantasy epic, is a helter-skelter, heart-stopping rush of black humour and horror, murder and mysticism, the divine and the depraved. Nothing is what it appears to be and heroes and villains alike must confront deception, treachery and catastrophic loss before their destiny - and that of the entire world - is revealed at last:- Review(s): "It's gritty, it's witty. Vastly entertaining on several levels" - The SF Site / "Arden is a very stylish writer" - Interzone / "A sprawling baroque tapestry, with wit, style and action. A triumph of which Arden should be justly proud" - SFX / "Some unexpected and spectacular developments as a reward" - Locus:- (original cost £17.99). Cover Art: Kevin Jenkins (illustratore). …

Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. © 1999: 3rd in the 'Orokon' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: The vision came in the wilderness long ago, commanding the Sultan's ancestor to lead his peoples to the place that would be called the Sacred City. There, deep within a rocky cavern, there burns an immense, roaring column of fire: the Sacred Flame. Worshipped by millions, it is the source of the Sultan's power. But the flame harbours a terrible secret - and so does the Sultan. For generations, the Sultans of Kal-Theron have held their desert realm in a cruel, implacable grip, but now, as a ruthless invader threatens, not even the Sacred Flame may save the ancient empire. Into this seething hotbed of political machinations and rebellion stumbles Prince Jamany, son of Ejland's deposed king and true heir to the throne, as he plunges into the next stage of his perilous quest, seeking the long-lost crystals of the Orokon. Already the anti-god, Toth-Vexrah, has burst free from the Realm of Unbeing and is working his evil upon the susceptible and easily swayed. Only Jem stands in his way, but now he faces dangers closer at hand. In an Arabian Nights world of eunuchs and genies, magic carpets and mysterious veiled women, dark magic is stirring. Cut off from his companions, Jem is trapped in the bizarre, horrifying dreamworld of the enchanter Almoran. Meanwhile, his lost love Cata becomes embroiled with the Shimmering Princess, the idol of millions, whose fate holds the key to the Sultan's empire - and to the whereabouts of the pulsing red crystal of the fire god Theron. Rich in horror and high adventure, outrageous comedy and aching romance, 'Sultan Of The Moon And Stars', the third volume in Tom Arden's compelling fantasy epic, is a lush and startling tapestry of dreams and danger, marvels and mystery, treason and tyranny, where luxury meets squalor, innocence meets depravity, and gods descend into the human world:- (original cost £16.99).

Meanwhile Cata, Jem's lost love, is caught in the machinations of the evil, ambitious Aunt Umbecca. Robbed of her memory, scrubbed and civilized, the wild girl has been turned into a lady. Cata recalls nothing of her powers - or of Jem. But her memory is beginning to stir, and soon she discovers a destiny that leads her from a mysterious meeting in a midnight wood to a bloody battlefield in a distant land. Rich in magic, mystery, horror and humour, 'The King And Queen Of Swords', the second volume of Tom Arden's sweeping fantasy epic, vividly depicts an eighteenth-century world of armies and assassins, brothels and bandits, love and longing, ransom and rape - and looming over it all, the ancient riddle of the King and Queen of Swords:- Review(s): Praise for 'The Harlequin's Dance': "The stunningly conceived eighteenth century backing acts as a very complex backdrop for a thronging cast of characters" - Publishing News / "Such is the vigour of Arden's imagination that his tale of war and puritan oppression of minorities never feels slow-moving or clichéd" - Good Book Guide:- (original cost £16.99).

Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. © 1997: 1st in the 'Orokon' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: The god Orok gave to his five children crystals of surpassing beauty, to be embedded in a circle on the Rock of Being and Unbeing, whence had sprung the gods, the earth and all its peoples. This circle, known as The Orokon, ensured the harmony of life, until the dark god Koros plucked his crystal from the Rock and plunged the world into chaos and despair. Ejland, northernmost kingdom of El-Orok, has been torn apart by civil war. The true king, Ejard Red, has been betrayed by the treacherous Archduke of Irion; after a long siege, the king has been captured and his throne seized by his twin brother, Ejard Blue. In the village of Irion the crippled boy known as Jemany Vexing, bastard son of the beautiful but frail Lady Elabeth, lives in the dilapidated castle with his dying mother and his frustrated and fanatical Aunt Umbecca. Ela - seduced, it is believed, by a common soldier during the siege - is a social outcast, while her dashing brother Tor is a traitor, wanted for crimes against the false king. Unable to walk, Jem is condemned to a wretched half-life, until he meets a mysterious dwarf. And with his new strength comes a new friendship, with the wild girl Catayane. The Archduke's grandson and the daughter of a blind hermit discover that their love holds the secret to incredible mystical powers. As the horrors of the Bluejacket regime begin, so Jem becomes aware of his greater destiny, for his is the quest to find and reunite the five crystals of The Orokon. But he is not the only seeker: the evil sorcerer Toth-Vexrah has his own plans and will let no one stand in his way. 'The Harlequin's Dance' is the first book in a sweeping fantasy epic, an intriguing, enthralling story set in an eighteenth-century world of highwaymen and high-society balls, betrayals, battles and bandits, enchantment and evil:- (original cost £16.99).
