SERPENT'S SHADOW is the first book of a projected trilogy (PHOENIX AND ASHES and THE GATE OF SLEEP being the other two). It will come out in hardcover in March, 2001. It's being published by DAW, and I believe all the books will start off in hardcover. The book is set in late nineteeth-century London: our world, with magic and the magical ways hidden underneath. The main character is Dr. Maya Witherspoon, a half-Indian, half-English woman who has fled from India with her household and her menagerie of animals to set up a medical clinic in one of the poorest parts of London. The other main character is Captain Peter Scott, a retired sea captain, seller of antique reproductions, and an Elemental Water Master. As far as I can tell, it's completely separate from the other things she's done, and looks both beautiful and exciting.
