In the chill of late October, three childhood friends gather in the forest to partake in a dangerous rite: David Sullivan and Alec McLean, who once walked the world of Faerie...and young Aikin Daniels, a "Mighty Hunter" desperate to join the select brotherhood of those who have trod the Straight Tracks. In the moonlight, in separate dreams, their quests are revealed to them-enticing each into the Otherworlds with promises of glorious adventure, lost love regained...and vengeance. But All Hallows is no time for a group of inquisitive college students to be traipsing back and forth across forbidden borders. For this Samhain night is owned by a dark and hideous power older than Faerie itself-an irresistible force that combs the Tracks in search of blood and souls. Only the dawn can save those whom he pursues-an eternity for David, Alec, Aikin and their friend Liz Hughes, who find themselves at the mercy of unrestrained chaos in a perilous, uncertain place. But suddenly there is no escape-not even in their own familiar mortal realm of cars and friends and rock 'n' roll. For the World Walls are breaking down-and can no longer restrain the terrible mad ride of the Wild Hunt. less

The World Walls separating the "real world" from the alternate world of Faerie are becoming so thin that Faerie can now be seen in satellite photographs. As craven mortal land developers threatens to exploit the magic lands, David Sullivan finds that it is up to him and his friends to prevent the High King Lugh from implementing his "final solution" to a most vexing problem--humankind.

With the High King of Tir-Nan-Og imprisoned and the throne of Faerie under siege, David Sullivan, the human liaison between moral and Faerie, and his companions hold the key to saving thousands of lives, but a very personal tragedy could destroy everything David holds dear. Original.
