New York Times-bestselling author: Human colonists battle dark fae on the perilous planet of Erna in this first science fiction and fantasy adventure of the Coldfire trilogy.
"Stunning . . . A feast for those who like their fantasies dark, and as emotionally heady as a rich, red wine." —Locus
Over a millennium ago, Erna, a seismically active yet beautiful world was settled by colonists from far-distant Earth. But the seemingly habitable planet was fraught with perils no one could have foretold. The colonists found themselves caught in a desperate battle for survival against the fae, a terrifying natural force with the power to prey upon the human mind itself, drawing forth a person's worst nightmare images or most treasured dreams and indiscriminately giving them life.
Twelve centuries after fate first stranded the colonists on Erna, mankind has achieved an uneasy stalemate, and human sorcerers manipulate the fae for their own profit, little realizing that demonic forces which feed upon such efforts are rapidly gaining in strength.
Now, as the hordes of the dark fae multiply, four people—Priest, Adept, Apprentice, and Sorcerer—are about to be drawn inexorably together for a mission which will force them to confront an evil beyond their imagining, in a conflict which will put not only their own lives but the very fate of humankind in jeopardy.

I literally haven't read this in almost 30 years, but the idea was that the planet these humans have colonized far in the future would react to human emotion and human psyche. And the more advanced the technology that you used, and the more nervous you were about using it, the more likely it was to not work correctly and malfunction.
Plus the main character was like some vampire guy whose family died long ago when he was deathless or something, standard Dracula-adjacent Gothic sci-fi fantasy stuff. But I remember really really liking it
Plus Michael Whelan did the cover artwork, good stuff!
