Joanne Walker is a Seattle cop with no use for the mystical. When she sees a woman running for her life, she has to get involved--even when the woman, Marie, claims to be hunted by Cernunnos, an ancient Celtic god who leads the Wild Hunt. Jo's solid, real world explodes when Cernunnos tramples through a local diner and calls her out. The fight ends with Jo's near-death, and in a hazy experience between life and death, she's greeted by the Native American trickster Coyote. He gives her a choice: death, or life as a shaman. Jo chooses the healer's path, forced to acknowledged an aspect of the universe she's never seen before. Marie is murdered a few hours later.

Another fight still remains, though: Jo tracks down Herne and with him, his daughter, whom Herne intends to sacrifice in a blood ritual that will permit him to take Cernunnos' place as leader of the Hunt. As she battles Herne, Jo comes to better understand the path she's chosen, finally accepting her fate as a warrior and a healer in a more...

Although first published in 1891, this ghost story remains a classic of Wildean wit and Victorian sentimentality. True, some of the references to melodrama and nineteenth-century Anglo-American attitudes may elude modern readers, but the basic story of a hardheaded American family that buys a haunted British manor house and proceeds to drive the resident ghost nearly crazy with its skepticism is still a delight, as are Wilde's epigrams: 'We have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language.' more...
