Not all faeries have wings. Not all goblins are green. And not all wars are fought on the outside. The first installment in the exciting new ARKADIA trilogy. Larry Cresswell, a disillusioned twenty-something, moves back in with his parents after college, gets his young girlfriend pregnant and ends up in the Oakland barrio, drunk and on welfare. Not as much of this is his fault as he’d like to believe. His girlfriend is a Changeling, left on Earth from the dimension of Faerie during a long and bitter war. One day she learns this, leaves and takes their daughter to Seattle, during the WTO Protests of 1999. This disaster, it is foretold, will punch a hole between dimensions and send her home as Queen of the Sluagh goblin-folk. Larry goes after his daughter, but to win her back he must first surrender…to himself. Only when he faces his own true origins can he hope to survive. It’s snowing in Arkadia. The King and Queen are imprisoned, and the Sluagh are on the march. Pass with Larry under the shadow of the storm, along with him for the hell-ride of his life… This book was previously published, but has been substantially revised and re-edited for Samhain Publishing.
