Yes, I thinks that's it! Ta very much :)
This is one of those fantasy books I read when I was a kid, but I can't for the life of me remember the title or author. I think I started reading the second book or something: I remember it was set in what Ancient-Egpytian themed fantasy universe. The main antagonist was some sort of general; he was conquering the land, but also constantly mourning for his 'Lost Lenore'. One place he tried to conquer was called 'The C Ity of the Dead' I believe, ruled by some sort of scholarly elite, but they bribed him to let them be.
One of the deities that keept cropping up was called "The Rain Queen" I believe, and there was some sort of legend about her falling in love with a mortal man, but him being killed, or betraying her or something. Because of that she was angry at humanity. Other than that, I can only remember a character, a middle-aged woman who was like a phony medium/spiitualist who made fake blood come out of a mirror, and a scene where it starts raining insects from the sky- the 'Rain Queen's revenge'. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
