"Once upon a time, there lived a woman afflicted by a heart that felt things far too deeply."
So begins the tale of Cardia, an empath longing to be free from emotional pain. Her desperate quest for relief leads her to a talking raven, the mysterious Collector of unborn dreams, and an unsavory surgeon wielding a magical knife.
At last, she finds peace. But when she meets Vatis—a traveling troubadour who falls deeply for her—Cardia must face a heartbreaking truth: Will she be doomed to forever regret her desperate decision, or will love triumph over every obstacle?
Poet John Mark Green has penned a moving story that explores the extremes the human heart can drive us to—a modern fairy tale for all who dare to believe in love and magic. Ideal for fantasy readers who loved The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle.
