About the Author

My misspent youth was passed gathering academic degrees before realizing the true "work of my heart" was storytelling. I began writing professionally in 1982 as Deborah Wheeler. Now under my birth name, Ross, I am continuing the Darkover series of the late Marion Zimmer Bradley (THE FALL OF NESKAYA, ZANDRU'S FORGE, A FLAME IN HALI, THE ALTON GIFT, HASTUR LORD, forthcoming THE CHILDREN OF KINGS), as well as original work, including the forthcoming fantasy trilogy THE SEVEN-PETALED SHIELD. I've lived in France, worked for a cardiologist, studied Hebrew, yoga and kung fu, and am active in the local Quaker community.

Editorial Reviews

"A beautifully constructed fantasy with characters who grow and mature before the reader's eyes and who are engagingly human while being fantastically heroic. Her writing flows and the point of view switches are interesting and exciting. This book is a keeper.

Rickey Mallory

"The plot moves briskly from crisis in Laureal to capture by the Norther barbarians to discovery of the true meaning of the Northlight of the title, with ample foreshadowing from the mysterious spooky something in the air of the frontier. And the culmination quite satisfactorily evokes the sense of wonder.

Tom Easton

"An unusual saga that starts slowly but builds to a startling climax."
