Two urban fantasy bestsellers in the Bedlam's Bard series together
in one volume.
Beyond World's End: Sieur Eric Banyon, Knight and Bard to the court of
the Queen of Elfhame Misthold, moves back to the Big Apple to take care
of unfinished business. Mostly, he just wants to settle down to a normal
life.
However, he quickly discovers his Manhattan apartment has unique
features, including a living gargoyle named Greystone and four Guardians
who have sworn to protect New York from evil. And soon Eric discovers
that unscrupulous researchers have created a drug that unlocks magical
powers in humans--a drug that is 100 percent fatal over time. And now
something evil from Underhill has other plans and seeks to use the
temporary human powers to dominate World Above.
Spirits White as Lightning: Eric Banyon has more to worry about than
passing his courses at Julliard. The evil elf lord Aerune, whose love
was killed by mortal men, is determined to destroy the human race.
Eric's only hope of stopping Aerune is to trap him inside a magical
maze, from which there is no escaping. Stopping Aerune once before was
difficult. This time, the quest seems nothing less than impossible.
