Into the Green

An unusual novel from Charles de Lint: a tale set in an entirely imaginary high fantasy world.. The harp was a gift from Jacky Lanters fey kin as was the music Angharad pulled from its strings. She used it in her journeys through the kingdoms of Green Isles to wake the magic of the Summerblood where it lay sleeping in folk who had never known they had it.. Harping she knew was on third of a bards spells. Harping and poetry and the road that led . . . . Into the Green. Charles de Lint takes us once again into lands infused and transformed by magic. Magic that grows in the roots of old oaks and dances by moonlight among standing stones. Magic that sleeps in an old soldiers eyes and glows in the gaze of a phantom stag. Magic that pumps through the heart and the veins of those born to the Summerblood-to be stolen at knife point burned destroyed in danger of fading back into the green and disappearing forever from the world.
