Synopsis

When Sara and Jamie discovered the artifacts, they sensed the pull of a dim, distant place, a world of misty forests, ancient magics, mythical beings, ageless bards … and restless evil.Now, with their friends and enemies alike—Blue, the biker; Keiran, the folk musician; the Inspector from the RCMP; and the mysterious Tom Hengyr—Sara and Jamie are drawn into this enchanted land through the portals of a sprawling downtown edifice that straddles two worlds.From ancient Wales to the streets of present-day Ottawa, Moonheart entrances listeners with its tale of this world and the one at the very edge of sight. A tale of music, motorcycles, and fey folk beyond the shadows of the moon, Moonheart is pure magic.

Quotes

“An ambitious hybrid…De Lint sustains his balance between ordinary reality and legend with skill.” Globe and Mail (Toronto)

“Charles de Lint has enjoyed a reputation as one of the world's leading fantasists, thanks largely to his enchanting 1984 novel Moonheart.” Star (Toronto)

“He shows that, far from being mere escapism, contemporary fantasy can be the deep mythic literature of our time.” Fantasy and Science Fiction

“Moonheart…has elements of urban fantasy, strong underpinnings of Native American and Celtic mythology, and more than a hint of The X-Files-type government conspiracy…Paul Michael Garcia did a very nice job with the reading…his narration added an appropriate gravitas to the more mythopoeic elements of the story.” SFsite.com
