An
“unforgettable
” urban fantasy that
“turns faerie lore on its ear”—by a
New York Times
–bestselling author (
Library Journal
)
!
A rock musician plummets into the dangerous world of the Faeries
—
with a foul-mouthed sprite as his only ally
—in this
“masterpiece of fantasy worldbuilding” (
Locus
).
Theo Vilmos is a 30-year-old lead singer in a not terribly successful rock band. Once, he had enormous, almost magical charisma, both onstage and off—but now, life has taken its toll on Theo.
Hitting an all-time low, he seeks refuge in a isolated cabin in the woods. While there, he reads an odd memoir written by a dead relative who believed he had visited the magical world of Faerie. And before Theo can disregard the account as the writings of a madman, he, too, is drawn to a place beyond his wildest dreams . . . a place that will be, and has always been, his destiny.
Returning to the fantasy genre that made him a coast-to-coast best-selling phenomenon, Tad Williams writes this stand-alone contemporary fantasy novel, set in Northern California—and also in the strange parallel world that coexists in the farthest reaches of the imagination.
