Corleu was different from the typical dark-haired Wayfolk. His blond hair and his fascination with the legends and children’s rhymes about the Cygnets, Gold King, Blind Lady, Dancer, and Warlock set him apart.
When Corleu and a band of Wayfolk become trapped in an endless swamp, he crosses a threshold (an unthinkable act for Wayfolk) seeking a means of escape. This impetuous act puts him on a collision course with the legends of his childhood. This is not a simple novel. The intricately woven plot laced with surrealist qualities will appeal to mature fantasy lovers.
