by Melissa Scott and Lisa A. Barnett
The citizens of Astreiant have become obssessed by a new play, The Drowned Island, a lurid farrago of melodrama and innuendo. Pointsman Nicolas Rathe is not amused, however, at a real dead body found on the stage and must investigate. A string of murders follows, perhaps related to the politically important masque that is to play on that same stage. Rathe must once again call on the help of his soldier lover, Philip Eslingen, whose knowledge of actors and the stage blends well with Rathe’s own hard-won experience of human greed and magical mayhem.
A winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Best LGBT Speculative Fiction.

Having deftly, and gratifyingly, entwined two different genres, Scott and Barnett have produced a page-turner that is sure to win them new fans." - Publishers Weekly
"Both well-crafted mystery and engagingly different fantasy, Point of Dreams is a thoroughly rewarding reading experience." - The SF Site
