On A Dark God Laughing, the first book in the series:
A Dark God Laughing is the intriguing debut
volume of Fiona McGavin's
A Dream and a Lie trilogy, offering readers a vividly
imagined world
filled with violent religious strife, gender-shifting characters
and an
engaging hint of decadence. I look forward to reading more as the
story
continues to unfold!
– Jacqueline Carey
Author,
Kushiel's Legacy |
In the Dream and Lie trilogy, I have tried to take
some of the elements that repeat themselves in fantasy novels
and twist them around. So in a Dream and a Lie, the elves
are decadent, self-destructive and vampyric, the setting is urban
other than rural, there are no vast pitched battles, no swashbuckling,
no dragons or other talking animals. The goblins have wings and
eventually get to explain and redeem themselves. The wise, kindly
wizards have a very dark side. I wanted to create a world where
no-one is quite what they seem, where heroes are riddled with
faults and villains are capable of acts of kindness and goodness.

"Wintertide"
It’s the cold I remember most clearly from the time before.
The way it crept into my basement and froze the water in the pipes.
Icicles hung like daggers and snow fell softly over the city, and
I could find no pleasure in any of it anymore. It had all blurred
into one — autumn, winter, summer — and I was only
passing my days waiting hopelessly for oblivion. So you may find
it strange that it is a story of love and hope that I have to tell..
