Volume One: The Lords of Darkness (Night's Master, Death's Master & Delusion's Master) Volume Two: Night's Daughter (Delirium's Mistress & Night's Sorceries). Volume One is in Very Good- condition, Volume Two is in Very Good condition. The dust jackets to both books have very noticeable edge nicks, spots of rubbing and light wear.

"She began publishing with The Betrothed (1968) , a short story privately printed by a friend, but started serious writing with several children's fantasies. Of these, The Dragon Hoard (1971) , her first novel, is a comic fantasy, in which an enchantress compels the quest-ridden protagonist to shapeshift into a raven at unpredictable moments. Princess Hynchatti & Some Other Surprises (collection of linked stories in 1972) puts its cast through various travails. In Companions on the Road (1975) the companions are the villains, a trio of hellish revenants who kill through their control of Dreams as they search for the holders of a magic chalice. The Winter Players (1976) – assembled with the previous book as Companions on the Road and The Winter Players: Two Novellas (1977) – dramatises the interaction between a young woman and the accursed wanderer whom she ultimately redeems. Even in these early works, several characteristic motifs dominate: the Rite of Passage whereby a young protagonist comes to terms – often via Metamorphosis – with his or her extraordinary nature, and strives for Balance in a riven world; vivid, but indeterminate, landscapes serving as almost interchangeable backdrops for psychic dramas; and a fine indifference to any moralistic settling of scores, her tales tending to close with Good and Evil characters settling into uneasy equipoise."
