In the age of demons, when the Earth was still flat, a daughter was born to a mortal beauty and Azhrarn, Demon Lord of Night. This Daughter of the Night was called Azhriaz, and she was hidden away on a mist-shrouded isle, spirit-guarded, to spend her life in dreams. But Azhriaz was destined for more than dark dreaming.

And her destiny would make her goddess, queen, fugitive, champion, seeress - and her to whom even the very Lord of Darkness would one day bow down....

Four-BEE was an utopian city. If you didn't mind being taken care of all your long long life, having a wild time as a "jang" teenagers able to do anything you wanted from killing yourself innumerable times, changing bodies, changing sex, and raising perpetual hell, it could be heaven.But for one inhabitant there was always something askew. He/she had tried everything and yet the taste always soured. And then he/she succeeded in committing the one illegal act-and was thrown out of heaven forever.But forever is not a term any native of that robotic utopia understood. And so he/she challenged the rules, declared independence, and set out to prove that a human was still smarter than the cleverest and most protective robot.You don't need to have read Tanith Lee's DON'T BITE THE SUN, which set the original scene, to find this new one of the same high merit that distinguished this author's THE BIRTHGRAVE.

Tome 1 :- Le Maître des Ténèbres (nomination au World Fantasy Award 1979)- Le Maître de la Mort (British Fantasy Award 1980, nomination au Locus Award 1980)- Le Maître des Illusions (nomination aux Mythopoeic Award & Locus Award 1982)Tome 1 En ces temps-là la Terre n'était pas une sphère, et d'innombrables démons vivaient dans de vastes royaumes souterrains, s'amusant parfois à remonter à la surface pour tourmenter les humains, leur accorder mille merveilles pour mieux les faire sombrer dans d'innommables horreurs.Le plus grand d'entre eux, le plus cruel aussi, était Ajrarn, le Seigneur des Ténèbres, le Maître des cauchemars et des créatures de la nuit. Nombre de mortels avaient vu leur destinée brisée pour simplement assouvir ses caprices, et pourtant il cachait dans son coeur démoniaque un profond mystère qui allait changer à jamais la nature même de la réalité...

APRÈS SA QUARANTIÈME MORT, HERGAL S'ÉTAIT CHOISI UN NOUVEAU CORPS... Il était brun, cette fois, un peu plus grand. Il avait choisi des cheveux très longs, une moustache, un corps tout de fibres d'or scintillantes que gâchaient des ailes ridicules dans le dos et aux chevilles. C'est ça, être Jang. C'est être fou, insupportable, violent et... changeant. C'est-à-dire pouvoir changer de sexe, de vie, de corps. Tout en suivant la mode.

Le maître de la mort

Celui qui croit avoir tout lu sur les vampires ne connaît pas Tanith Lee. Il ne sait rien des demeures embuées d'ombres où se frôlent les mains des seigneurs et des familiers. Il n'a pas entendu le chant de deuil de Feroluce, lancé vers ses frères aux ailes noires, et ne sait pas le nom du prince qui viendra réveiller Blanche Neige. Il n'a jamais effleuré l'épaule de la Machine qui Mord sur des planètes lointaines, ni erré dans les neiges étoilées de fleurs cruelles. Ni, peut-être, partagé un verre avec une actrice déchue, ou déchiffré à ce jour les secrets que savent les miroirs. Il lui reste encore, en somme, à tout découvrir des Ténèbres. II peut à présent le faire en tenant la main de la créatrice de la terrible famille Scarabae et des inoubliables Seigneurs de la Terre Plate...

Écrit avec du sang : 10 contes du vampire

As she says of herself, Jay is a 'chancer'. But she finds she is out of her depth when she meets the beautiful artist, Jilaine Best. 
Jilaine has everything - looks, talent, and wealth - even so her life is imperfect. In adolescence she lost her mother in circumstances both mysterious and painfully unpleasant. Now, unable to conceive, Jilain's one wish is for a baby - even if another woman gives birth to it. 
Jay can't resist this opportunity - she tells Jilaine that she, Jay, is pregnant. And so the great lie begins. 
It seems easy enough - for there conveniently is the handsome young cab driver, only too willing to make love with her... But the spun web is already tangling. Can anything result from it but danger - and destruction?

VOLKHAVAAR is a novel of witchcraft and wonders on a world far removed from those we know. Here the gods contend for power - the Dark forces against the Light - and here an entire city and its land is plunged into the shadow of an eil beyond anything conceivable.
It is the story of Shaina the slave girl and of Volk the outcast who enslaved himself to cosmic forces to gain total power - and of how they were finally to meet and flash - with an entire world as their prize.

Volkhavaar

A haunting tale of strange shadows and weird evils which features three travellers, Parl Dro, Myal Lemayal and Ciddey Soban, who are drawn together on a quest for Ghyste Mortua, city of the dead.

Tuer les morts

Le jour la nuit

Tanith Lee today is one of the most versatile and respected writers of fantasy, horror, and science fiction, and DREAMS OF DARK AND LIGHT represents a massive mid-career retrospective of her achievements over the previous decade.
Here are unforgettable tales of werewolves that prowl chateaux, an Earthwoman in exile on a distant planet, demons that inhabit bodies of the living dead, a race of vampiric creatures who prey upon a cursed castle, and many other works of exotic vision, mythic science fiction, and contemporary horror. Also included are two stories that have received the World Fantasy Award, "Elle est Trois, (La Mort)" and "The Gorgon," making DREAMS OF DARK AND LIGHT a distinguished one volume library of myth-weaving at its most eloquent and evocative.

Dreams of Dark and Light

He was Chuz, Lord of Madness, and he alone would defy Azhrarn's might. If Azhrarn chose to make a woman into a god, Chuz would play a game of his own design with Demon and mortal alike; a game that would result in life, death, and an ages-long conflict between Demon Lords.
