Publisher's Synopsis
He seized my hand, and despite a shriek of "Wait! I'm not ready!" from me, he hurled us both into the leaf-dappled water. It was cold but a nice kind of cold. I enjoyed the feel of it until I realized we were still going down. Panic came over me, and I tried to swim up, but Stevie held me like a vise. That was when we fell out of the water. Tarah and Stevie have fallen into Wildermere, a world with as many changing moods and colors as hours in the day. While Stevie introduces Tarah to the wonders of his world, they soon realize that even Wildermere is not free from the sinister presence of Jayhaya, their archenemy. When Tarah inadvertently releases Jayhaya into Wildermere, she is thrust into Limbo and Jayhaya is freed into the living. There he forces his way past the spiritual weapons of the mighty Men of Old Street, and proceeds by necromancy to call up 666 damned Mathers. Nor is this his only help: the creation of Wildermere also causes the transformation of costumes into monsters, and a host like the sand of the sea surrounds the last fortress of the village: the consecrated cemetery. Without some aid from Above, the embattled prayer-armed farmers must soon fall before the Triumph of Jayhaya.
