Finally back in print, Moonheart is de Lint's classic novel of ancient magic on the streets of contemporary Ottawa.
When Sara and Jamie discover a few seemingly ordinary artifacts, they sense the pull of a dim and distant place: a world of mists and forests, ancient magics, mythical beings, ageless bards—and restless evil.
Now, with friends and enemies alike—including Blue, the biker; Keiran, the folk musician; the Inspector from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; and the mysterious Tom Hengyr—Sara and Jamie are drawn into an enchanted land through the portals of Tamson House, a sprawling edifice in downtown Ottawa, Ontario, that straddles two worlds.
Moonheart is a tale of both this world and the other one—the world at the very edge of human sight. It is a quintessential urban-fantasy novel of music, motorcycles, magic, and folks who live beyond the shadows of the moon.
