Stranger at the Wedding Set in the world from the Windrose Chronicles, although devoid of Antryg or Joanna, this book deals with Kyra, a minor character in the previous books.
Kyra, six years after being disowned and leaving for the Citadel of Wizards to study, returns to her home in Angelshand in time for her sister Alix's wedding. At the Citadel, something was twisting her magic, portending evil, portending Alix's death on her wedding night. Kyra decides to return home, not for the ceremony, but to stop the wedding. Under the tutelage of Tibbeth of Hale, a dog wizard, young Kyra learned that magic was not simply a part of her, it was her, a part of her she could never deny, not even for her family, who were dismayed and alarmed by her being mageborn.
In the present, Kyra tries a myriad of things to delay the wedding, all the while working to figure out who or what is trying to kill Alix. Things take a turn for the worse when Alix disappears. Kyra, the Witchfinders on her tail, races to reach her sister before the enemy she cannot yet identify - who might be acting in revenge for Tibbeth's death years ago -strikes. Kyra's struggles in the past, to accept herself, and in the present with wizardry, love, and her family, are touchingly written.
Kyra herself, red-haired, clumsy, tall, and truly outlandish, must have been a fun character to write.
Published by Del Rey books, The alternative title for this book in the UK is Sorceror's Ward. Page is quite out of date! Roebuck The Time of the Dark For Gil, it started with the dreams; of a city being abandoned because of some nameless horror that was slowly invading, and of the wizard Ingold, who later appeared in her kitchen.
For Rudy, it started with an ill-fated beer run that linked him with Gil and Ingold and drew him into a world unlike his, where the infamous Dark was invading. The wizards seek help from Quo, both knowledge and help in turning back the Dark. Meanwhile, back at the Keep, Gil and Minalde, the Queen of Gae, and Rudy's lover, seek knowledge of their own from the massive, mysterious building. Who built the Keep, and why? What runs the generators that move air and water within the Keep in a world without electricity or machines? When a crew of rag-tag magicians arrives back at the Keep, it is the knowledge found by the girls that begins to give some hope to the situation.
Published by Del Rey books, March, The Armies of Daylight After a force is deployed to seek out the Nests of the Dark, there is some hope that they can be wiped out with the new flame-throwers Rudy has discovered in the abandoned laboratories within the Keep. With the departure of Ingold, Rudy finds himself personae non grata with Minalde's brother, and sentenced to death, while the rest of the wizards are exiled from the Keep.
To have any hope of getting home again, Gil has to find a way to save the wizards from their fate. But when Ingold finally re-appears, she and Rudy have to make a decision.
After three months in the strange world, do they return to California and the lives they left behind? Published by Del Rey books, July, Mother of Winter Five years after the original books and the vanquishing of the Dark, things are anything but perfect in the Keep of Dare.
Between the persistent slunch devouring the crops, the strange creatures crawling periodically from it who are attacking wizards, and the coming of icestorms, life seems as perilous as it once was. Ingold and Gil travel to the South to search out three strange mages under Saycotal Xyam - the Mother of Winter, a mountain in the South - who may be causing the changes in weather and the slunch itself.
After an attack by one of the strange slunch-born creatures, Gil begins changing, fighting down the new violent impulses that are telling her to kill Ingold. In the Keep of Dare, Rudy has found new answers to the original riddle of the Keep itself - how it works, how it was made, and why it was there, with the help of Tir, now old enough to access the ancestral memories of his lineage. Although it's said that this book can be read without having read the previous books, I would recommend not doing that, simply because you'll have more fun if you already know Ingold, Rudy, and Gil.
Published by Del Rey books, October, Locus award nominee fantasy for Well, this doesn't have anything to do with the book itself, but I really thought that the woman on the front cover looked a little like Hambly herself minus the excess decorations, and the lack of hair. Icefalcon's Quest The poor people of the Keep of Dare. Just when they think that everything is going well again, some new disaster strikes. Two years have passed since Mother of Winter , and the Keep-dwellers have learned to live with the slunch. The hydroponics tanks are churning out enough food to live off of, and the ice in the north is still advancing.
Ingold is gone on another book-foraging quest, this time leaving both Gil and Rudy behind. But strange things begin to happen after the Icefalcon brings in two strangers, victims of a bandit attack not far from the Keep. Although the Icefalcon believes he recognizes the man, he cannot remember where he knows him from. The man's niece claims to be able to channel the spirit of a mage from the Times Before. Before Gil-Shalos can question her too closely, the strangers have disappeared, taking the young Lord Tir with them.
The Icefalcon, furious at himself for bringing the strangers to the Keep in the first place, follows, watching as the man he thought he knew transforms back into his true form, that of Betkis, the Court Mage. Rudy, badly injured while attempting to get Tir back from Betkis, retuns with Gil return to the Keep. The Icefalcon continues to track Betkis, who now owns some strange magical object that gives him far more power than he ever possessed.
Besides Betkis and the woman posing as his niece are several men who all look exactly alike, men whom Gil called clones before she left the Icefalcon. Back at the Keep, the armies of the Alketch are attacking, holding the impregnable Keep under siege. Why attack the Keep of Dare when it's impossible to get by the door, and the people inside have already a store of food?
Ingold is away from the Keep, and Rudy lays near death. They track Betkis and Tir as they join up with Vair na-Chandros, the husband of Yori-Ezrikos, a man who has found a machine from the Times Before to create the clones who now make up his army. He wants Tir for his memories, to find secrets now hidden under the ice in the North, secrets to help him take over the Keep of Dare and attack the kingdoms his wife rules in the Alketch.
Parallel to the story in the present, though, is the story of Icefalcon's history - why the barbarian of the Real World joined the Guards, and why he came to Renwath Vale in the first place. The story of his betrayal and exile from the Talking Stars People unfolds as he journeys through the land of his childhood, now covered by ice, and falls back into the ways of his people. But before long, despite his continuous ridicule of the "mud-diggers," the civilized people, he begins to realize that perhaps his heart has changed, and that the revenge he seeks on the one who betrayed him is not what he wants for his life after all.
