An "unforgettable" urban fantasy that "turns faerie lore on its ear," by a New York Times-bestselling author (Library Journal)!

A rock musician plummets into the dangerous world of the Faeries -- with a foul-mouthed sprite as his only ally -- in this "masterpiece of fantasy worldbuilding" (Locus).

Theo Vilmos is a 30-year-old lead singer in a not terribly successful rock band. Once, he had enormous, almost magical charisma, both onstage and off -- but now, life has taken its toll on Theo.

Hitting an all-time low, he seeks refuge in a isolated cabin in the woods. While there, he reads an odd memoir written by a dead relative who believed he had visited the magical world of Faerie. And before Theo can disregard the account as the writings of a madman, he, too, is drawn to a place beyond his wildest dreams... a place that will be, and has always been, his destiny.

Returning to the fantasy genre that made him a coast-to-coast best-selling phenomenon, Tad Williams writes this stand-alone contemporary fantasy novel, set in Northern California -- and also in the strange parallel world that coexists in the farthest reaches of the imagination.
