The orphan Cole wanders the world, seeking the fabled Underground
City which he has promised his love Sigrid he will find. Somewhere
else entirely, Niven sits in a palace garden taking lessons in
astronomy and architecture, dreaming up ways to escape being
married off to one of her father’s friends. Cole’s story is
pieced together from folk songs and fragments as he travels ever
onwards towards his destiny: a new life even stranger than the one
before. Niven too will learn what it means to leave the garden of
childhood. Their world is one of witchcraft and wishing, wisdom and
regret, as they slowly learn how much it is possible to love, and
suffer for the sake of love. Comic, grotesque, lyrical, and
immensely readable, Tony Williams’s fantasy picaresque is a
reader’s delight. A sweeping yarn through the darkest of ages,
filled with rogues, lovers, murderers, swindlers, and saints.
