A fascinating stand-alone novel by the New York Times bestselling author of the Otherland series
Theo Vilmos' life is about to take a real turn for the worse.
He is drawn from his home in Northern California into the parallel world of Faerie, for, unknown to him, he is a pivotal figure in a war between certain of Faerie's powerful lords and the rest of the strange creatures who live in this exotic realm.

Excellent! This book drew me in and deposited me right into the realm of Fairie. It is one of those book you don't want to end. One of those stories that stick with you for weeks.

Brilliant urban fantasy--and it's a stand alone, not an endless series. Great read.

Held my interest for the entire 800 pages.

Like most Tad Williams stories, this one has strongly developed and interesting characters, and a very creative story line. Although I love long books, and this one has over 800 pages, the plot might have been improved with tightened editing. This book isn't quite as good as those in his Otherland series (which was truly addicting), but I still give it a good recommendation.

Not my favorite by Tad Williams, but it is well written and engrossing. It's a long read, over 800 pages, but it stands alone - it's not part of another series.
What can I say!?! Tad Williams is an absolute genius! This "stand-alone" fantasy was pleasure to read from page one. Please, God, can I live inside Mr. Williams brain some day?!? If you have any sense, you will read every single word this man has ever written - and then beg for more!

Great stand-alone fantasy novel by one of my favorite fantasy authors.
