โฆ Synopsis
Book Two of the Darkangel Trilogy!
Aeriel has broken the spell on the vampiric darkangel known as Irrylath and returned him to his human form, but the White Witch continues to haunt his dreams. To save her love and the world they live in, Aeriel sets off on a quest across the Sea-of-Dust, to solve a mysterious riddle and gather six magical steeds. Pursued by the White Witch and haunted by her six remaining darkangels, the former slave girl seeks out an ancient oracle who may help her find a way to defeat her enemies.
Review
"[With] A Gathering of Gargoyles . . . the Darkangel trilogy has grown exponentially in richness and - if that is possible - in inventiveness."-Lloyd Alexander, author of the Prydain Chronicles
