“An utterly contemporary, exquisitely imagined parallel-world fantasy with a deeply satisfying plot and unforgettable characters” (Holly Bennett, author of Redwing).
It’s the near future, and the world is on the brink of war. The paths of two lonely teens converge, caught in an uncontrollable current crashing through time and space. Rowan and Ophelia discover they share a place that’s the stuff of childhood dreams. In Antilia there is magic, and humans walk alongside minor gods and mythological beings. But all is not what it seems, and the two are pulled inexorably into a divided realm. Separated and unable to get home, they find Antilia and Earth’s fate are forged together. Can Ophelia and Rowan repair the damage, fulfill their destinies, and save both worlds from annihilation? Antilia: Sword and Song is an epic story of survival and self-discovery.
“You know a good book as soon as you start it. It sings to you and makes an immediate connection. That’s what happened to me with Kate Story’s Antilia. I loved everything about the book.” —Charles de Lint, World Fantasy Award–winning author
