To Otherwhere

Sicilo’s adopted mother, Clover, was banned from fairyland. She is helpless as the millennium draws to a close and all witches, including Clover, know its impending consequence. The untethering. Every thousand years the six realms pull apart, separating Autumnus, the human world, from the magic of fairyland. The loss of magic brings out the worst in men: wars, destruction of the earth’s resources, the death of flowers. Clover relays the ancient superstition that a human must travel through the seven realms, touching each one to prevent the untethering. This is a lie. Strange dreams plague Sicilo’s search for the last world, Otherwhere, but she does not know it is a world she already carries with her.
