About this ebook

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.

 

Ratings and reviews

One of those page turners you have a hard time putting down, and an interesting modern spin on fairy tales. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Enjoyable story about life in the fairy realm as seen through the eyes of a mortal who was kidnapped for reasons he cannot fathom.

Title sounds wimpy, but one of the best science fiction books I've ever read.
