Description
This collection of seven short stories takes the reader to the Kingdom of Imlay, a coastal realm still filled with magic and mythical creatures great and small. Characters such as the inquisitive Ya, the precocious Aurora, and an ambitious, future-seeking King face monumental decisions that will affect those they hold dear.
Along the way, they are challenged by the need to make personal sacrifices for the greater good, use the power of truth to break through hurtful intentions, call upon magic to help people, and choose between possible future lives. Original and thought-provoking, these tales will stimulate the intellect and engage the imagination.
Advance Praise
“A dreamy assortment of tales that contain kernels of worldly truth.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Nancy Joie Wilkie’s stories capture the simple language and romantic ethos of fables, and many of her tales could entertain children at bedtime. Yet she has grounded her fantastical Kingdom of Imlay with very human lessons that will resonate with adults as well—tales about the power of love and goodness as well as the dangers of hubris and darker emotions. In The River Keeper, she drew a spark from a Wake Forest Magazine story of a magical day on the Yadkin River with its former keeper, Brian Fannon, a man she rightly perceived as well-suited to magic and inspiration.”
—Carol Hanner, managing editor, Wake Forest Magazine
