The Wandering Land
by Jamie Killen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Dark Fantasy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
On a
summer night in a sunbaked desert city, the wandering land appears. A fairytale
village nestled in dense forest, it is a place of ruined castles, abandoned
treasures, and strange creatures living in the shadows. Brought together by
this impossible place are five visitors: failed painter Eli; art professor
Amal; young lovers Darcy and Wes; and mysterious, haunted Coyote. Together they
explore their own secret village, an entire world hidden in plain sight.
But
there is darkness beneath the magic, a force pulling the visitors deeper and
deeper into the place’s mysteries. As the boundaries between the secret land
and the outside world begin to collapse, each of the visitors is confronted
with visions of an otherworldly child, a child whose existence holds the key to
understanding everything about the place that has drawn them together.
Who is this child?
Why did she choose them? And will she ever let them go?

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
Coyote
knew right away she was in someone else’s dream. She did that sometimes,
stretched out in her sleep and fell through her dreams and straight into
someone else’s. It was always easy to tell. Other people didn’t usually dream
smells or tastes, and, unlike her, they rarely saw things that came true later.
Coyote usually found the dreams of strangers relaxing compared to her own, free
as they were from the whispers and signs and codes she so often had to unravel
upon waking.
Not
this time, though. This time, she slipped into the dream already tasting the
copper tang of fear, already prepared to run. She stood along the edge of a rooftop,
grey pavement stretching out before her. Some part of her knew she would jump
before the dream was over, and that she would wake up just as she hit the
ground. It was Written; whether that was by God or evolution or her own
misbegotten neurons, she didn’t know.
“Long
fall, isn’t it?” someone said.
She
turned around. A middle-aged man in an old-fashioned suit stood in the middle
of the rooftop, gazing out at the horizon. He held a pipe in one hand. Ribbons
of satin smoke hung in the air without dispersing.
“Do
you have a message for me?” Coyote asked.
The
man turned to her and smiled with smoke-yellow teeth. “Ah, yes, you’re a clever
one. The Queen said you’d pick this up quickly.”
