From the author of the Lambda Literary Award winning Teleny and Camille comes the third installment in a tale about young lovers in a queer Celtic fantasy world.

“Like Teleny and Camille, we once again see his beautiful black-and-white art, but now he has proven his talent as an original writer, as well. It’s a rare gift that a natural storyteller has skill with both words and images, but Macy does.” — Steven Surman, Broken Frontier
