Dying of the light/george r. r. martin

A whisperjewel from Gwen Delvano calls Dirk tLarien across space and beyond the Tempters Veil to Worlorn, a dying Festival planet of rock and ice.

Warlorn is slowly drifting through twilight to neverending night; as the planet sinks into darkness, so its inhabitants face annihilation.

Seven years ago, on Avalon, Gwen was Dirks lover, his Guenevere; now she wears the jade-and-silver bond of Jaantony Riv Wolf high-Ironjade Vikary, a barbarian visionary, an outcast from his own people for his acts of violence.

And Garse Janacek, Jaans *teyn*, his shieldmate, is also bound to Gwen - in hatred.

Dirk, a rogue and a wanderer, is called to be saviour of the three who are bonded together in love and hate.

But in breaking their triangle, he could lose all .
