When a stranger on a black motorcycle rescued Janet Ravenscroft on a night street in the center of Inverness, she could not imagine what it would turn out to be for her. Little did she know that this man is the key to the mysteries that fill her life: mixed heritage, cruelty of her father, absence of her mother, and the feeling that she never truly belonged to herself. He will pull her out of her familiar life in modern Scotland and lead her into the realm of the fae. However, the queen of the Land of Summer Twilight is insane, putting not only the girl's life but also her soul at risk...
World-renowned artist Charles Vess collaborates with top fantasy writers such as Ursula Le Guin, Neil Gaiman, and Charles de Lint, creating iconic illustrations and winning numerous awards. Now he presents his first fantasy novel - a story born from the image of two people riding a motorcycle through a field, leaving behind burning grass, inspired by the ballad "Young Tamlin." Charles Vess has created a novel about a true miracle.
"This novel is a healing elixir with a taste of wonder, so necessary in our times." - Charles de Lint
"A beautifully crafted modern interpretation of a classic ballad that will appeal to fans of European mythology seeking more traditional fairy stories." - Aurealis
"One way to break free from the story is to do something unexpected. And on her journey, Janet learns what can happen to those who refuse to play the roles expected of them. This is a very enjoyable read with a distinctive style and narrative tone." - ParSec
