Passion Play, Queen's Hunt, Allegiance (forthcoming 2010, 2011, 2012 from Tor Books)

"Here romance and politicial intrigue unfold in a richly-imagined fantasy world. This wonderful novel fills the senses with the gritty taste of ashes and the delicious shiver of silk, while the mysterious scent of magic is everywhere present. Beth Bernobich's debut burns bright with passion. It is destined to be a crowd pleaser."

—James Patrick Kelly, Hugo and Nebula winner

"Passion Play immediately plunges you into a deep world of past lives and magic... the layers are crafted so masterfully that you can't put the book down to climb out of the story."

—LA Banks, The Vampire Huntress Legends Series

"Passion Play, indeed. Passionate, articulate, clever, this book sings right along. Desperate measures and hope bundled together in a daring adventure. Byzantine politics seldom combine so well with great characters. Marvelous debut novel."

—Patricia Briggs

A Handful of Pearls & Other Stories

Short story collection, June 2010 from Lethe Press.

"Lyrical, provocative, delicious, and sometimes disturbing, these tales of imagination will stay with you long after the last page has been turned."

—Ellen Klages, Nebula Award-winning author of Portable Childhoods

"Beth Bernobich writes elegant, sexy, engaging short stories, full of heart and intelligence."

—Delia Sherman

"Lyrical, touching and imaginative short fiction of the highest caliber… A Handful of Pearls & Other Stories stands out by its wonderful prose. If it has a theme, it is about strong people who are in a less than privileged position—mostly women in male dominated societies, but not only—it is also about regrets and (sometimes) second chances, with sense of wonder and great characters; the occasional lighter touches work well too."

—Fantasy Book Critic
