The Eye of Night

The Eye of Night

"The Eye of Night" is a 2002 fantasy novel by Pauline Alama.

It is notable for including among its leading characters a dwarf called Hwynn--not the mythological race of Dwarves but the human variation of dwarfism. Hwynn is the romantic and heroic figure around whom the story turns.

Plot summary

The narrative concerns the adventures of Jereth, a self-doubting priest, and Hwynn, the young woman who protects the Eye of Night, a jewel that is connected with what appears to be an impending apocalypse. The story is woven with themes of Daoist balance and Christian Resurrection.
