Under the spellbinding pen of breakthrough author Peter Best, the known world is veiled in magic. There is a place in which anything is possible-a place in which the binding laws of reality are cloaked by smoke and shadow. Explore a world in which an inventor creates a flying automobile at a terrible cost, a scarred young man discovers a strange bond with a stringed instrument and a disgruntled, semi-retired St. Nicholas of Myra works the night shift at a department store. You will find your thoughts haunted, your heart warmed and your imagination captured.
