1. Faces Under Water
From the world-renowned fantasy author of The Secret Books of Paradys comes a chilling new fantasy series of alchemy and horror. In this new series, Tanith Lee weaves intricate plots around the elements of water, fire, earth, and air. The first in this new series, Faces Under Water immerses readers in the timeless beauty of Venice and the secret terror that lies beneath.
In the hedonistic atmosphere of an eighteenth-century Venice Carnival, gaiety turns deadly when Furian Furiano happens upon a mask of Apollo floating in the murky waters of the canals. The mask hides a sinister art, and Furian finds himself trapped in a bizarre tangle of love, obsession, and evil, stumbling upon a macabre society of murderers. The beautiful but elusive Eurydich holds the key to these murders and leads him further into a labyrinth of black magic and ancient alchemy. For all readers who fell in love with Lee's Paradys series and for all those enchanted and terrified by the fantastical, Faces Under Water will be sure to thrill.
3. A Bed of Earth
The third book in Tanith Lee's compelling series based on alchemy and the elements focuses on the element of earth. It is a haunting journey to a parallel version of sixteenth-century Venice, where a fierce territorial rivalry between two noble families-the della Scorpias and the Barbarons-unearths a supernatural force from beneath the placid surface of the canals and rotting understructure of the city.
The struggle between the two families for space on the Isle of the Dead, the overcrowded burial ground for generations of Venetian nobility, becomes more and more heated, and fourteen-year-old Meralda della Scorpia is forced to pay the ultimate price. But as the years pass on, parties complicit in her disappearance-from both houses-begin to suffer the consequences in a series of shocking deaths that could emanate from none other than a supernatural foe. As these bizarre events throw the city into a panic, a humble apprentice gravedigger is left to sort out the mysteries-an effort that will enable him to unearth the secrets of his own shadowy past.
4. Venus Preserved
Tanith Lee concludes the compelling Secret Books of Venus quartet with a haunting and suspenseful tale set in her brilliantly re-imagined alternate Venice. Centuries into the future, the sunken city of Venus has been rebuilt beneath the sea, under a dome, where it is supported by a vast network of advanced computers that control everything from the diurnal cycle to virtual projections of authentic wildlife, regulating weather, noise, and the most precious undersea commodity of all -- air. It is here that a macabre experiment takes place: conducted by geneticists at the University, it consists of the resurrection of two lost souls, both murdered in their times -- Jula, a beautiful first-century gladiatrix, and Cloudio Del Nero, the 18th-century composer who met his fate in Lee's acclaimed Faces Under Water, the first volume of the Venus series.
Picaro, a traveler from the surface, has come via submarine to Venus, chasing the evil prophecy that has cast a shadow over his entire life. As rumors of a conspiracy to isolate the domed city from the surface emerge, an unexplained catastrophe occurs, claiming several lives, from which Picaro narrowly escapes. Was it merely an accident, computer failure, or has the experiment unleashed an airborne virus? Or is there an even more sinister danger afoot, a force from beyond that threatens the survival of Venus itself? Picaro finds that the only way to answer these questions is to confront mysteries of his own that have long remained buried, and to reveal the connection that ties his past to that of the unavenged spirits wreaking havoc on the doomed city.
