As if all the books coming out -- new ones by Hiaassen, de Lint, Barker, and countless other favorite authors -- weren't enough, here's this, from the latest Dreamhaven catalog:

Kushner, Ellen and Delia Sherman - The Fall of Kings 1st Ed. Trade PB
(Bantam Spectra 2002) Set in the world of "Swordspoint" 50 years later.
Young history master Basil St. Cloud is fascinated by the ancient kings,
now long deposed. Popular belief holds that the early kings were corrupt,
and the wizards who guided them charlatans. But Basil has a different
theory. He believes that they were guided by a true magic that sustained
the land. And he isn't alone. A secret royalist movement is growing,
demanding the return of the ancient rituals. And when Basil falls in love
with a descendant of the royal line, he finds himself caught up in events
that are far beyond his control, as he hears the land cry out for its
ancient magics to be restored. Signed copies available in early November.

*sigh* Add one more to the "must buy" list. Ellen Kushner novels do not appear nearly often enough.
