Mon frere l'ombre (Tyranael)
Elisabeth Vonarburg

Une saga grandiose!

The Silent City
Elisabeth Vonarburg

Tesseract Books, 1981

A True Postmodernist Sci-Fi Novel

IN THE MOTHERS' LAND
Elisabeth Vonarburg

Spectra, 1992

Fantastic world-building and a wonderful heroine.

The Maerlande Chronicles
Elisabeth Vonarburg

Tesseract Books, 2002

Watch out for variant titles!
This is in fact the same book (same translation, even) as the one published under the title, "In the Mothers' Land." Don't go buying this one thinking it's a sequel or another work in the same world, the way I did. :-> That said, it's lovely detailed anthropological ...
