The Sword of the Lady
A Novel of the Change

Rudi Mackenzie has journeyed far across the land that was once the United States of America, hoping to find the source of the world-altering event that has come to be known as the Change. His final destination is Nantucket, an island overrun with forest, inhabited by a mere two hundred people who claim to have been transported there from out of time. Only one odd stone house remains standing. Within it, Rudi finds a beautifully made sword waiting for him—and once he takes it up, nothing will ever be the same… "This new novel of the Change is quite probably the finest by an author who has been growing in skill and imagination for more than 25 years." ---Booklist Starred Review
