Together they encounter marvels and misfortunes and discover that the key to all their riddles ultimately lies with the extraordinary Well of Tears...

CRITICAL REVIEWS: 'Cecilia Dart-Thornton exhibits strong and authentic evidence of having visited some of the more exotic comers of Faerie . . . Crucially for readers, she proves she's able to bring the unicorn back alive, netted in golden prose . . . Dart-Thornton conjures up her world of Tir in the luminous yet hard-edged manner of Jack Vance and Mary Gentle.' ~ THE WASHINGTON POST
