"A contemporary novel of masterful horror replete with magic, fantasy, and more than a little stylish sensuality." -- The Washington Post

Phil Hastings was a lucky man -- he had money, a growing reputation as a screenwriter, a happy, loving family with three kids, and he'd just moved into the house of his dreams in rural of magic -- and about to be altered irrevocably by a magic more real than any he dared imagine.

For with the Magic came the Bad Thing, and the Faerie, and then the Fool... and the resurrection of a primordial war with a forgotten People -- a war that not only the Hastings but the whole human race could lose.

"Absorbing, thought-provoking, and thoroughly magical. Feist's skillfully crafted prose illuminates many of the darker sides of fairy stories... Try it as a bedtime story... but only on nights when you can take some time getting to sleep." -- The West Coast Review of Books
