In this collection of novellas, short stories and poems you will find a village hunted by an undying king, an orphaned dragon who doesn't want to go home, a murderous pirate and a little girl on a stormy night, a dinosaur obsession that goes terribly right, star-faring refugees, a mysterious library where it is almost impossible to check out a book, the healing power of moonlight, dying gods, a childhood revisited, and a locomotive engineer without a heart, among other destinations. Come journey on twisting roads of the fantastic where shadow and light intersect.
