Queens Walk in the Dusk

Queens Walk in the Dusk

The Latium Trilogy: Book 1

Thomas Burnett Swann

Swann wrote primarily about the ancient Greek and Roman world, blending myth with romance and adventure. A reviewer in the Village Voice sums his work up well: "Swann's neo-romantic fantasies of the past are unique. He uses the stuff of myth but with twists and inventions of his own."

Queens Walk in the Dusk is a retelling of the romance of Dido and Aeneas.

Green Phoenix

Green Phoenix

The Latium Trilogy: Book 2

Thomas Burnett Swann

Prior to the dawn of human history, the Earth did not belong solely to humanity -- there were other intelligent species still fighting a last-stand battle against extinction. These are the beings remembered today only in legend, creatures of the trees and water, beings that combined beast and man, with strange lore of their own and sciences lost to the human victors. GREEN PHOENIX is a tour-de-force of the final stronghold of the prehumans against the last legion of fallen Troy.

Lady of the Bees

Lady of the Bees

The Latium Trilogy: Book 3

Thomas Burnett Swann

Many of Swann's bucolic tales were set in the Ancient World and populated by mythic creatures. Lady of the Bees is a lyric retelling of the legend of Romulus and Remus.
