The Gathering of the Lost is now published in the USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand. Here's what three fellow authors have to say:

“Helen Lowe writes wonderful stories, yes, but her work also speaks with lyricism to deeper questions of how we treat each other.  With lovely prose that brings vivid life to her characters, she creates a universe with people we care about. This is an author with a gift for fantasy.”  ~ Nebula Award-winner, Catherine Asaro

“Helen Lowe’s writing moves from strength to strength. Powerful story lines, memorable characters and a vividly imagined world.” ~ Juliet Marillier

"So if you've any fondness for epic fantasy, I highly recommend you give The Wall of Night series a try. I can't wait for the next novel in the series." ~ Courtney Schafer
