When True Night Falls
Author: C.S. Friedman
Year: 1993
Abstract:
Again, Damien the Warrior-priest and the Hunter must team together to fight an even greater evil than the last time they
met. The fae is growing stronger, and more people are dying. Damien and Tarrant (the Hunter) join up with Hesseth, a
member of the native species. They travel across the great ocean, and into areas long since abandoned to the evil of the
fae. They meet a new people, who may or may not be allies. Damien and his colleauges need an ally. The evil grows
more powerful, and the Hunter, who is more despicable than any evil save the fae itself, is growing impatient. Can Damien
keep the peace long enough to give mankind a reprieve from the dark and omnipresent fae?

Spectre's Review
Just like book number one of the series, this book is a masterful creation of wizardry and science. I was lost in this world
until the end of the book pulled me out, and then I kept going there in my dreams. Few other books have captured me so
well. Friedman continues her tradition of horror, magic, and delight. I love some of the terrifying ideas and magic spells
that are discussed. This really is a very interesting idea. There is a touch of Gothic horror, but mostly, it's very original
Friedman. Few other authors have the ability to put you inside the mind of a character. You must put this in your
permanent collection.
Spectre's Rating
Once again, Friedman does her magic!
