Fantasy
Leaving his life of petty crime and drug abuse behind,
young Douglas flees from Minneapolis to Edinburgh,
Scotland, to his stern but fairminded Grandma McLaren, who
will take him in if he can support himself. Fortunately,
few cities are friendlier than Edinburgh to a guitarist
with a talent for spontaneous rhyme, and soon Douglas is
making a decent living as the busker who can write a song
about you on the spot. But Edinburgh has its dangers for the unwary. The annual
arts festival, biggest in Europe, draws all manner of
footloose sorts, and tempted by the drugs offered by a
mysterious young girl, Douglas stumbles. What follows isn’t what he expects. Suddenly, Douglas can
see the fey folk who invisibly share Edinburgh’s ancient
streets—in all their beauty and terrifying cruelty. Worse,
they can see him, and they’re determined to draw him into
their own internecine wars--wars that are fought to the
death.
