Produktbeschreibung

In the sprawling wilderness of 19th-century America, an invisible war rages beneath the surface of history. "Water Folk," the captivating third installment of John Hood's Folklore Cycle, weaves together the fates of humans and supernatural beings across decades of American expansion.

When famous author Washington Irving encounters a mysterious Water Maiden named Dela, he's drawn into a hidden world of magical Folk and monstrous creatures that have shaped America's frontier since its founding. As the Folk nations struggle against each other for dominance, humans like Sam Houston, Manuel Chaves, and the legendary Captain Stormalong find themselves unwittingly entangled in ancient conflicts that will determine the future of both worlds.

From the battlefields of the Creek War to the Texas Revolution, from the gold-rush shores of California to the halls of power in Washington D.C., "Water Folk" masterfully blends historical events with magical intrigue. Hood's richly imagined America is populated by shape-shifters, fairy rangers, and forgotten monsters-beings that have influenced human affairs while remaining just beyond our perception.

When the Water Maiden Dela is captured by a power-hungry Elf prince, her lover Goran and their allies must embark on a desperate quest to rescue her. But in doing so, they uncover a terrifying secret that could destroy the delicate balance between human and Folk worlds forever.

If you enjoyed "American Gods," "The Golem and the Jinni," and "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell," you'll love "Water Folk."
