Michael McBride is a sheltered young man from an Irish-American family in New York City -- until the secrets that lie beneath his family's genteel existence begin to crumble under his feet, sending him running for his life.

His flight from the Old World's Unseelie Court will lead him far into the wilds of the New. But magic, Michael McBride will discover, is not something a man can simply outrun.

For the Texas frontier has a magic all its own: as ancient as the land -- as vast and as powerful -- fueled by the mingled dreams of natives and newcomers alike. With death at his heels, and the ghost of his past, Michael will run till he can run no more.

Cover Blurbs:

"Intriguingly different ... Characters out of both Celtic and Native American mythology appear in a suprisingly compatible mix. The continual mingling of cultures and myths -- even cowboy tall tales -- works well." -- Locus

"Midori Snyder writes with a magic touch that makes her characters spring out at you, and stay with you. Don't be surprised if her books make it to the shelf of things you want to reread." -- Emma Bull

"Midori Snyder walks in myth and magic the way some people walk city streets; with confidence and style, interested in everything." -- Ellen Kushner
