A tale of horror, magic and the dream of flying. In Prague at the end of the nineteenth century, Katerinska plays the role of dutiful daughter and carer for her aging Father, a retired Field-Marshall and fallen folk hero, but the truth of their relationship is far from what is played out for the world outside the gates. As cracks begin to appear in this hard-worn façade, Katerinska struggles to maintain the illusion of their lives but when disaster strikes redemption is offered from a strange an unlikely source. The novel explores ideas of loss and despair, enchantment and dreams and the redemptive power of the human imagination; not hope in place of desolation but the uncompromising challenge of life itself - the mutability, danger and awe of simply being alive.
