' Red City is the sequel to the earlier novel, THE GIFTING 1996. It is a complex fantasy story which takes the reader into some very strange worlds.. Sulia, who was the heroine in The Gifting, again appears in this novel: this time, she is to help Kay, of the Companions in the decaying Red City, to try and find the key to peace and the heart of the old city.With its mixture of magic, mind games, legends and technology, Red City provokes reflection on a number of things as well as being a good, exciting adventure story.'

'The first of two books (Red City being the other), The Gifting is set in a strange world, reminiscent of the third-century Roman Empire, on the brink of decay. Young Sulia's merchant father dies and she leaves her city in search of her mother, who years before has returned to her native land of Alainan, far across the sea. On her way there, she meets Rufus, a young, disturbed child of Empire, and Lugan, who has come from the fabulous land he calls Gealan--Land of the Moon, the White Kingdom. But just who is he? And just who is the mysterious girl, Donna, who appears one day beside them? What is waiting for them in Alainan--powers and joy behind imagining, or danger and death? Based on Celtic legends and Roman history, this novel is a blend of magic and mystery, adventure and terror.' (Sophie Masson )
