With Nora away on a vitally important mission in Annwn, Jack Brenin has to take sole responsibility for rescuing the last two Dragonettes left on earth from being roasted for a Spriggan feast.

Can Jack help the Blessed Council to rescue the sleeping Druids?" --Publisher description.

Physician Richard Berringer, his wife, Ann, and their thirteen-year-old son, Torquil, have abandoned their home in Nova Scotia and moved to Sierra Leone, despite warnings that the West African country is in a civil war. Two months on, things are not going well. Tensions are rising between Richard and his boss; Torquil—who hates Sierra Leone almost as much as he hates his father—has launched a hunger strike; and Ann is bedridden with illnesses that Richard believes are all in her head. While the Berringers battle with themselves, each other and the worlds they inhabit, the narrative repeatedly returns to their past, shedding light on what brought them together, what keeps them together, why they have come to Africa, and why they might not be able to go home again.

Spanning Canada, Prague, and New Zealand, a novel that explores what happens when one woman searches for meaning--and nearly loses herself. When Maja was seven, her mother disappeared. Now almost thirty, Maja has the same urge: to disappear, to start over. She leaves her fiance in Canada to follow signs that lead her to the Czech Republic -- her mother's home country. In Prague, Maja falls in love with Kuba, a charismatic musician who is a minor celebrity in Czech New Age circles. As Maja navigates this irresistible and overwhelming new relationship, she is guided by dreams, visions, and synchronicities, and experiences the power and wisdom of ayahuasca. But she's also cynical enough to question the contradictory and often hypocritical New Age subculture--is being with a "workaholic guru" really what she wants? Despite her budding sense of destiny, she suffers from a mysterious illness and the unshakeable sense that something is terribly wrong. Revealing both the falseness and truth of the stories we tell ourselves, Catherine Cooper's novel is sharply observed, darkly funny, and ultimately moving--a profound meditation on the pain and potency of love.
