Karakesh is a beautiful kingdom filled with magic and danger. There are the Grassmen who steal horses and leave your eyes burning with sneezie powder. The helpful travelers are kind and always on the move. There are the dwarves, guaranteed to put you to work in their dark mines.
Bimi Lightfoot's faerie mother gave him away when he was a baby. But who is his father? Someday, Bimi promises himself, he'll seek out both his parents.
That day comes sooner than Bimi expects, when his faerie cousin, Liri Flare, sweeps him into the sky on a mission to steal a horse. Once away from his adoptive family, Bimi sets out to find his mother and learn the truth about his father. He gets help from some of the magical folk of Karakesh, but other encounters are downright life-threatening. Does Bimi find what he seeks on his quest?
