The Fey are gone...and with it, magic. At least, that is how things seem with the demise of the Dark Goddess and The Bard. "Lord what fools these mortals be." Penheram is a quaint, sleepy English village where people escape the 21st century. Hiding from the world of laptop computers, the Internet, and wireless communications, is Ella. Once a celebrated writer, now barren of ideas and drive, she resigns to a life of a deadline-free solitude. Everything changes with the arrival of a shape shifting thief. Suddenly everyone from the local librarian to the lady of the manor begin to change, revealing true natures and dangerous secrets. Something in this sleepy English village is awakening...and some of these things were better left alone.
