Cover Art: Kevin Jenkins (illustrator). 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).
