Product Description
Product Description
The tautest, most realistic medieval fantasy you could wish for - and a towering achievement for a first novel. Filled with immense characters, this thrilling novel of moral complexity and vision announces the arrival of a special new writing talent. Phaedra, the beautiful daughter of a baron, has been visited in dreams by an elusive knight for almost as long as she can remember. And when his presence becomes a reality, she is forced to choose him and a new life over her home and her father. But this sets off a chain of events that she could not have foreseen - a battle between good and evil which is in turn violent and psychologically compelling. This stunning novel grapples with the huge themes of life, and turns the reader's expectations upside down again and again, with one vertiginous plunge after another.
From the Back Cover
On the eighth day of the New Year, wait for me in this place at the eighth hour after noon. If I come in that hour, I shall give you what help I can. If I do not, I cannot help you at all.
Phaedra, daughter of the Warden of Trant, puts her trust in a man she has only met in dreams. He can see far, and speak far, and pass where no man should be able to pass. With him she may escape to a new beginning, as the Kingdom collapses into war.
But why should he choose to help her?
And what price has he paid for his power?
This is one of those books which hides within itself a secret, a story deeper than it is possible to convey from this blurb or from the cover. We urge you to read it.
John Dickinson lives with his wife and two children near Exeter. He is himself the son of an acclaimed author, and grew up with stories constantly under construction in the house. This is his first published novel.
