Description
From the best-selling comic book writer of all time, and science fiction’s Beth Fleisher, comes a dark, contemporary fantasy rich with all the characters and plot-twists Claremont’s X-Men stories are known for.
Cass Dunreith lives the writer’s life in hipster Brooklyn, loves too hard, drinks a bit too much, and is always on deadline. But once a year she sheds all that, joins her old college friends, and dons the garb of Lady Sioban, King’s Champion, known to one and all for her prowess with the sword, and a heart that no-one’s ever won. Week-end warriors descend on a campground in Pennsylvania, to shed their grown-up selves and wander into the world of make-believe, play-acting the medieval life as kings and pages, buxom courtesans and chivalrous knights, culminating in a huge mock-battle. But this year someone has unleashed a potent curse. The Wild Hunt, grim-faced warriors from the depths of legend, descend on the camp. Suddenly Cass finds herself in a world where the swords have edges and people can die. Only one person has the courage, the honour, and the heritage to stand between her friends’ fantasy and a very real bloodbath: herself.
