[Diana Pharaoh Francis] BITTER NIGHT / Book 1: Horngate Witches

Bitter Night, the first of Diana Pharaoh Francis' new 'Horngate Witches' novels will hit stores October 27, 2009.

This foray into urban fantasy follows on the heels of two successful epic fantasy franchises - 'The Crosspointe Chronicles' and 'The Path' books.

Finding a description wasn't easy: "a woman is sent to investigate a murder that hasn't happened yet, and what she learns triggers a battle between two feuding witches and sets off a war of magic that draws in both the Uncanny and the Divine and has the potential to remake the world."

“In the deliciously epic Bitter Night, Diana Pharaoh Francis has married the Charles de Lint-style old school urban fantasy to the new college of asskickery in a pagan-pirate handfast. I totally loved this book.”

~Ann Aguirre, national bestselling author of Blue Diablo and Grimspace
