The Forgotten Beasts – Eld by Patricia A. McKillip (1974)

A solitary sorceress. A menagerie of mythical beasts. A story about love that refuses to be simple.<br />McKillip writes with the precision of a poet and the quiet fury of someone who knows power comes with isolation. Every line glows like old glass — delicate, dangerous, and sharp if you look too closely.<br />This is fantasy for readers who like their dragons metaphorical and their emotions volcanic.
