About the Book
For centuries they lived amongst us. The frightful and wondrous, the
angelic and bloodthirsty. Living in a reality just beyond the Veil,
humanity's myths and legends are caught in a struggle for their very
survival – against hunters far more powerful than they are.
Into
this struggle has stepped a New England lawyer who once wanted to be an
actor – a man who both longs for the mortal woman he was to marry and is
desperate to rescue the sister who's been taken hostage. Neither hero
nor warrior, Oliver Bascombe now finds himself brandishing a magical
sword, walking in the company of a woman who sometimes appears as a fox
and a man made of pure ice, and dueling with albino giants and winged
killers. For in the world of the Borderkind – and the realms that exist
beyond it – Oliver is discovering just how vulnerable are humankind's
myths, the dire consequences of their extinction, and the reason he was
chosen to save them...
