Synopsis

Phil Hastings was a lucky man-he had money, a growing reputation as a screenwriter, a happy, loving family with three kids, and he'd just moved into the house of his dreams in rural of magic-and about to be altered irrevocably by a magic more real than any he dared imagine. For with the Magic came the Bad Thing, and the Faerie, and then the cool. . .and the resurrection of a primordial war with a forgotten people-a war that not only the Hastings but the whole human race could lose.

"A contemporary novel of masterful horror replete with magic, fantasy, and more than a little stylish eroticism."-- "The Washington Post.

" "Feist writes skillfully and his imagination is prolific."-- "Rave Reviews." "

" "Absorbing, though-provoking, and thoroughly magical. Feist's skillfully crafted prose illuminates many of the darker sides of fairy stories. . .Try it as a bedtime story. . .but only on nights when you can take some time getting to sleep."-- "The West Coast Review Of Books ."

From the Back Cover:

GOOD PLAN

Successful screenwriter Phil Hastings decides to move his family from sunny California to a ramshackle farmhouse in New York State. The idea is to take some time out, relax and pick up the threads of his career as a novelist.

BAD CHOICE

The place they choose is surrounded by ancient woodland. For their house sits at the centrepoint of a centuries-old evil intent on making its presence felt to intruders

From one of the world's most famous fantasists comes a unique contemporary tale of an ordinary family pitted against extraordinary dark forces.
