*** Bodley Head - 2005 - Condition: NEW Hardcover / UNREAD Copy
SYNOPSIS:
Rob believes he is going to rescue his sister from the King of Annwn, a chivalric quest that comes to an ingnominious halt when she refuses to be rescued. Chloe, it seems, unconsciously summoned the king through her desire to escape from an existence lived in the shadow of her popular and high-achieving brother. In Annwn, finally in control of her circumstances, Chloe begins to realize her power, only to become intoxicated by it. It is easy to sympathize with Chloe's desire to define herself, and difficult not to groan at Rob's blundering inability to see beyond his own idea of her. But the stronger her will becomes, the greater the danger that she will trap herself, alone, in the caers of the Unworld and never return to her body outside. For Chloe, indulging the deadly sin of envy will prove more deadly to her than anybody else, a fact underlined by the mutually destructive ongoing indulgence of Ceridwen's wrath toward Taliesin...
