The Captain's Witch — Rosemary Hawley Jarman

Her kiss can maim you
Her eyes can blind you
Her bed is shadows . . .

She is the dark of the moon
She is all that is dear
And she is death

Can you trust her?
Where will her lantern lead you?
To the bliss of death
Or the death of bliss

Know the most dangerous of all . . .

"One of the greatest dark fantasies ever written -- in any genre."
-- Tanith Lee

Rosemary Hawley Jarman was born in Worcester, England and came to fame in 1971 with her novel "We Speak No Treason." Reprinted many times, the book's hero is the much maligned King Richard III. It sold 30,000 copies in its first week of publication, and gained her the prestigious Author's Club Silver Quill for best first novel, while in the U.S.A. she was nominated as a Daughter of Mark Twain. Further equally successful novels followed, also an illustrated account of the Battle of Agincourt. She lives in an antique stone cottage between sea and mountain in West Wales. "The Captain's Witch" is her first fantasy novel, and she is now working on a sequel.
