In a distant, tattered future an old woman, a young girl and
mechanical man embark on a slow voyage in the shadow of the great
dragon Haakenur up the vast estuary towards the city of Ludwich…
Past plants on the mud-flats that send up brief, man-shaped clouds
of seeds to lure you out, past shanty towns full of old sailors and
pilots scraping a living from the dregs of the passenger trade,
between the wicker effigies in the Wodwo graveyards this is a
journey at once familiar from folk tales and country customs and
utterly strange and alien. Cady, back on her boat and feeling every
day of her 1,600 years; the tight-lipped but beautiful little girl
and her rubber-stitched-faced, mechanical companion are an odd but
warmly imagined and compelling cast to accompany the reader on a
quest into a world of mysteries and terrors that leave the reader
with an inkling that this world is perhaps more familiar than it
first appears. Can Cady find her youth again?
