There are two kinds of monster in Titian’s life: the Mystals and the Swarthmen. The first she loves; the second she fears. Exiled from her tribe for making a Druidic staff, Titian and her dying friend, Myriam, are taken in by the Clan and Kindred. But theirs is a turbulent world, edged with war.
Kidnapped by Swarthymen, she escapes to, and is lost in a cave where she feels she is traveling ‘sideways, ever sideways’. Not knowing she is being pursued, as her old world seethes in turmoil Titian begins a perilous journey—into an unknown destiny—to find the mythical Fragrant Moss, the only thing that might save her friend, that legend says grows only in the Land of the Rainbow’d Sun.
This is a beautiful, exciting, elegant book that you will love.
