High Adventure in the World of Dark Brothers of the Light! Here, in ebook form, from Janrae Frank, a #1 bestselling author of dark fantasy, are the stories that made her reputation. These are her tales of Chimquar, the Lionhawk, lone warrior woman, parent, and exile, who must masquerade as a man or die. Chimquar first debuted in the World Fantasy Award winning anthology, Amazons! Wandering her world in exile, Chimquar fights monsters and demons, men and magic. From the first tale, "Changling Son," which shows why the swordswoman had to pass as a man, to the last, "Wolves of Nakesht," in which she battles demonic wolves, In the Darkness, Hunting is a rarely affecting work of fantasy written at a blistering level of intensity. Other stories include "The Hawk that Hunted Lions," "Last Night of the Troll," "A String of Werewolves' Teeth," "The Ruined Tower," and the title tale. As writer Jessica Amanda Salmonson says, "Chimquar was ahead of her time [and] remains a spectacular exception to the love-story-disguised-as-heroic-fantasy usually encountered. She is an adventurer bold, sometimes very angry, a little mad perhaps but with good cause. The heart of the tales is always action, but we have also a rich and unusual surprisingly thoughtful character who achieves a considerable depth of heroism and tragedy. Her culturally intergendered nature was a fascinating addition." While writer Lyn McConiche hails Jan Frank's work for its "breadth and depth ... color, complexity, and blazing, vivid life. Her tales of Chimquar the Lion-Hawk, Amazon warrior, exile, parent, and priestess, are gripping, not only because of the strong realization of a world, but also because Chimquar herself is real. A woman who lives her own life, refusing to be confined by custom or the demands of her kin. She is far more than the stereotype Amazon of many fantasies, she has her own voice and life, and I, as a reader and a woman, am heartily glad of that."
