And now, for three beautiful sisters, for a young man elevated to knighthood, and for countless others, a darkness is emerging to shatter all that once seemed certain, familiar, and good.

Industry Reviews

Highly individual fantasy from the much-acclaimed Keyes. In the kingdom of Crotheny, two young girls play in the tangled gardens of the sacred city of the dead where they discover the crypt of a legendary ancestral queen. In the wilds of the forest, while investigating the mass slaughter of an innocent family, the king's forester comes face-to-face with a monstrous beast found only in folk tales. Meanwhile, travelling the same road, a scholarly young priest begins his education in the nature of the evil that festers just beneath the surface of a seemingly peaceful realm. Greg Keyes is the author of The Waterborn, a novel rich in the vaunting imagination fully evident here.
