title: Miserere: An Autumn Tale
author: Teresa Frohock
description: "With richly developed, complex characters and a talent for portraying the horrific nature of evil, the author relates a compelling tale of faith rediscovered, trust regained, and hope reawakened." --<i>Library Journal</i> / Starred review and Library Journal's SF/F debut of the month.<br /><br />"<em>Miserere</em> is about redemption, and the triumph of our best impulses over our worst. It's also about swords, monsters, chases, ghosts, magic, court intrigues and battles to the death. It's also (and this is the important part) really, really good." <br />--Alex Bledsoe, author of <i>Dark Jenny</i><br /><br /><br />Bull Spec calls <em>Miserere </em>"a stunning, vivid foray into a complicated, but decipherable, world. And Teresa Frohock successfully plants a foothold in the speculative market as an author to watch." <br /> --J.P. Wickwire<br />
