Rent The Last Guardian of Everness

Synopsis

John C. Wright shifts genres from space opera to high fantasy in this first of a projected two-volume saga. Galen Waylock belongs to the House of Everness, a family of magicians who guard the border between the waking, real world and the magical world of dream. When that border is threatened with invasion by the legions of the Dark, the Guardian of Everness must awaken the sleeping armies of the Light for an ultimate battle destined to destroy the waking world. Galen, grandson to the current Guardian, believes that this time is come, and is voyaging deep into dream for confirmation, leaving his sleeping body behind. Meanwhile, Wendy, a sweet-tempered woman with fairy blood, is dying in a hospital. Her desperate husband makes a terrible bargain with a mysterious creature. His wife can be restored to health as long as he agrees that someone else, a stranger to him, will die instead. Unfortunately, the stranger the creature has in mind is the apparently comatose Galen Waylock....
