Publisher's Synopsis
'You've never told Clyde?' Morey asked. 'About what happened to his mother?'
'How can I?' My pen drew an outline of a shovel on my notepad. 'I killed her with a gardening tool.'
Life certainly hasn't been dull since my first visit to Lloegyr, a magical country which parallels England. My household now includes a family of cat-sized gryphons and a hymn-singing snail shark, and I'm visited regularly by Raven, a darkly beautiful dragon. And I enjoy the excitement of planning our wedding day with Peter, my handsome fianc�.
But Lloegyr offers danger as well as wonder. My brother is recovering after being hunted by a pack of gryphons. I was dismissed from my dream position as minister of a church in Lloegyr. And something non-human seems to be stalking Peter.
Then there's the mystery of Clyde's true identity. Is he just a large carnivorous snail who loves beer and children's TV programmes? Or does his unusual shell point to a far greater destiny, one which could threaten everyone who knows him?
