She is Aztira, one of the magical Amanackire race, a pure white albino with powers both mysterious and terrifying. She can grant life and defy death, enchant men—or destroy them!

He is Rehger. Sold into slavery at the age of four, he will become one of the finest warriors and charioteers in the land. Yet all his prowess with arms will not save him from the spell of the White Witch, a dangerous bewitchment that will lead him to challenge the mightiest of mortals and immortals ... and to embark on a fearsome quest in search of the legendary city that is home to the Amanackire.

She woke from a sleep of countless years, reborn from the heart of a raging volcano. Her body was a masterpiece all men desired, her face a monstrosity that must go masked. Warrior, witch, goddess and slave, she was doomed to travel through a world of barbaric splendour, helped and betrayed by her lovers, searching for escape from the taint of her forgotten race, and the malice of the demon that haunted her.

In her now-classic tale , award-winning author Tanith Lee told the spellbinding story of Jane and her forbidden love for a robot named Silver. In this stunning follow-up, the legend of their tragic romance lives on. But nothing is as it was—or as it seems….

As an orphan growing up in the slums, Loren read her clandestine copy of Jane’s Story over and over, relishing every word. But Loren is no Jane. Savvy and street-smart, Loren could never be stirred by a man of metal, her passion never ignited by an almost-human—even one designed for pleasure.

Still, when the META corporation does the unthinkable and brings back updated versions of robots past–Loren knows she must see Silver. And just like Jane, it is love at first sight. But Silver is now Verlis. If he was perfection before, he is now like a god. Yet he is more human than his creators think—or fear. While Loren doesn’t quite trust him, she will follow her twice-born lover into a battle to control his own destiny–one that will reveal to her the most astonishing illusion of all.

Love is made of more than mere flesh and blood….

Tanith Lee is one of the most thought-provoking and imaginative authors of our time. In this unforgettably poignant novel, Lee has created a classic tale—a beautiful, tragic, erotic, and ultimately triumphant love story of the future.

For sixteen-year-old Jane, life is a mystery she despairs of ever mastering. She and her friends are the idle, pampered children of the privileged class, living in luxury on an Earth remade by natural disaster. Until Jane’s life is changed forever by a chance encounter with a robot minstrel with auburn hair and silver skin, whose songs ignite in her a desperate and inexplicable passion.

Jane is certain that Silver is more than just a machine built to please. And she will give up everything to prove it. So she escapes into the city’s violent, decaying slums to embrace a love bordering on madness. Or is it something more? Has Jane glimpsed in Silver something no one else has dared to see—not even the robot or his creators? A love so perfect it must be destroyed, for no human could ever compete?

Esiste una città dove l’utopia si è realizzata. Può essere un paradiso, per una vita lunghissima, un paradiso nel quale ognuno è curato e accudito da robot perfetti, dove ogni giovane è jang, e può fare tutto quello che vuole… suicidarsi per un numero infinito di volte, cambiare il proprio corpo, cambiare sesso, giocare con la vita e avere tutto a disposizione. Ma c’è una persona, in questa città, che non riesce a trovare la felicità in questo genere di vita. Prevalentemente donna, giovane e irresistibile, vive la propria esistenza tra mille inquietudini, insieme ai suoi compagni e alle sue compagne. Nella città, però, manca qualcosa… qualcosa che Si può trovare forse nel mondo esterno, quella distesa temuta di vulcani che viene attraversata soltanto a bordo di veicoli corazzati, o che può esistere nella possibilità di avere un figlio, anche se ognuno deve decidere se di quel figlio sarà madre o padre…

Un libro straordinario, che nessun altro autore avrebbe mai saputo concepire, e che è stato accolto dalla critica e dal pubblico americani come la rivelazione di uno straordinario talento, quello di Tanith Lee, una scrittrice capace di spaziare dall’epica classica alla geniale inventiva sociologica con una facilità e un talento che lasciano sbalorditi.
