Spirit Gate
Kate Elliott, author of the acclaimed Crown of Stars Series, begins a new politically-charged epic journey through a world torn apart by warfare and betrayal.
For generations the Guardians ruled the Hundred, but these unearthly beings have faded from human sight and no longer exert their will on the world. Only the reeves, patrolling from the skies, still represent the Guardians’ power. But there is a corruption in the land that not even they can control, and fanatics are devastating villages, towns and cities, slaughtering all who oppose them.
Outlanders Anji and Mai are fleeing their homeland with a company of dedicated warriors. On reaching the Hundred, they form an alliance with Reeve Joss, and determine to stand against the devouring horde. But, as region after region slips into chaos, a young woman sworn to the Goddess may be all that keeps them from annihilation ...

The Gathering Storm
Volume Five in the Crown of Stars
Kate Elliott’s enthralling epic of sorcery and war continues.
The cataclysm long foretold has shaken the world. King Henry’s obsession with uniting the warring kingdoms of Wendar and Varre has left his people destitute and vulnerable to attack. As earthly and supernatural forces gather to overthrow all Henry has fought for, Alain and Liath come to realise their twin destinies. Between them they hold the key to secrets which could yet save Henry’s realm, but even they may be powerless should the Cursed Ones return.
`A grand and powerful piece of writing’ Katharine Kerr

Child of Flame
Volume Four in the Crown of Stars
King’s Dragon, Prince of Dogs and The Burning Stone launched Kate Elliott’s enthralling tale of the war-torn kingdoms of Wendar and Varre. Now, in Child of Flame, Kate Elliott’s majestic fantasy epic continues.
Lost and alone in an unknown country, Alain struggles to survive as he is unwittingly drawn into an ancient conflict between humankind and their old enemy, the Cursed Ones
Separated from her husband and child, Liath must undergo her greatest test in a land of exile. Only here can she hope to discover the truth of her parentage and learn the extent of her remarkable powers.
Mourning the loss of his wife, the bastard prince Sanglant seeks his father, King Henry, to warn him about the conspiracy of powerful sorcerers who wish to destroy the Aoi, the Lost Ones, once and for all - no matter how much destruction their magic will unleash.
But King Henry’s gaze is fixed on the throne of Aosta and the imperial crown left vacant for two generations. As a Quman army, sweeping in from the eastern steppes, ravages the Wendish countryside, Henry marches south, ignoring the pleas of his beleaguered subjects.
The great cataclysm, foretold in the stars, is approaching.
‘A gripping and enthralling fantasy epic’ The Times
‘What really counts are Kate Elliott’s characters. Well-drawn and vivid, they come alive and draw us into her work ... a grand and powerful piece of writing all in all’ Katharine Kerr
