Behind all the plots and secret machinations, a dark evil lies waiting... Nothing is as it seems in the kingdom of Lorm. The Druidic Prophecy that saw Prince Tolian transformed into a woman to save the world from a powerful Demon, has now strained the delicate political balance in Lorm. Dowbreth, the giant faerie warlord and ambassador of good will, sets a mysterious conspiracy in motion. Through treachery and dark magicks, Dowbreth strips Tolian of her powers and kidnaps her in the midst of the kingdom's Yule celebration. She must face her adversary as an ordinary woman and her only chance of success lies in gaining control of the legendary Moonsword... |

Reviews and Accolades
--- Nominated for 2005 Gaylactic Spectrum Award "... commendably brisk ... superior fantasy fiction ... (a) workman-like effort..." "Diana Hignutt's award nominated fantasy novel Moonsword earned her an enthusiastic cult following and several highly desirable TV and radio interviews. Her fans will be happy to know that Empress of Clouds is the eagerly anticipated sequel. The author blends Druidic mysticism and folklore fantasy, with a liberal sprinkling of the metaphysical to keep her story moving at a break neck pace. Diana Hignutt's devoted following has an exciting read in store with Empress of Clouds." Diana Hignutt is a master at the intersection of fantasy and science
fiction…slathered in high wattage entertainment…a smelting
furnace of fantasy suspense written with a crisp tone loaded with energetic
intensity. Ms. Hignutt has upped the ante for writing fantasy/science
fiction. For lovers of fantasy and love stories, Empress of Clouds will make you ache for Hignutt's next book as much as for the troubled love between Tolian and Brythia. 4 Alien Heads out of 5 -Apex Magazine |
