Emmett's dream is always the same. Tingling with half-forgotten
memories, he stands in an unknown room surrounded by mirrors, curio
cabinets, and nesting dolls. A painting, Belshazzar's Feast, hangs
on the wall, its disembodied hand numbering the King's final days.
Then comes the stranger, the serpent-wielding young woman with the
glittering amber eyes. Her words are always the same. Emmett will
soon save her. Then the supposed hero awakens to his unremarkable
life, awaiting the next night and the same maddeningly familiar
dream. Seventeen-year-old orphan Emmett Brennan remembers nothing
of his past-not the boiler room in which his needle-ravaged mother
gave birth to him, nor the Druids who tenderly delivered him. He
can't remember the cabal-summoned Revenant that clawed itself from
shadow to hunt him, or why his mystical midwives hid him from the
necromantic creature. Approaching adulthood, he is unaware of the
dark forces that still search for him or the mysterious sentinels
who secretly protect him, but on the eve of his eighteenth birthday
that will change. The Revenants will find him. Only the young woman
from his dreams can help him confront all he was once made to
forget. Together, they will brave the nightmarish landscape
Emmett's waking world will soon become.
Is there such thing as an adult fairytale? And if there is, do
adult fairy tales end happily? Meet Holly Brown, a Manhattan
interior designer. Divorced, her biological clock having gone off
years before, Holly is about to find out where dreams come from and
how, no matter how hard you try, you can't deny exactly who you
are. A charming tale of innocence to ... more innocence, where
perhaps all we consider imperative really isn't so very important
at all, "The Holly Brown Chronicles," offers a laugh-out-loud
perspective on contemporary culture.
