Moonheart

More about the book

In this captivating urban fantasy, a genre that is the specialty of Canadian writer Charles de Lint, a traditional Native medicine bag of artifacts and strange events at an old mansion bring together a pair of antiquarian booksellers, a Druid, a biker, an Inspector of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and an ancient Welsh bard. They enter a strange, enchanted world in which magic and myth are part and parcel of everyday life and they must take sides in a long-standing battle between good and evil. Moving between this extraordinary other world and present-day Ottawa, <i>Moonheart</i> is a fantastic tale of magic, horror, suspense, and romance. De Lint brilliantly walks the fine line between realistic fiction and the stuff of legend in this captivating novel. <i>--Jeffrey Canton</i>
