Axl & Beatrice have left their village to find their son, departed many years ago. Axl & Beatrice have not too many memories of why and where their son is, as the mist that has been hovering seems to have faded memories of even an hour ago.
In their travels to find their son, the encounter Saxon and Briton entities who have many memories of the battles that have occurred between them.

This is a hard book to really get in to. Tolkien-ish in the fantasy genre and a little hard to decipher a deeper meaning to it. The ending was worth the wait, though.

I liked this book a lot, because it made you think. The story itself was really interesting, because the author did a great job of portraying life in ancient Britain. The deeper meaning of the story to me, about past lies and forgiveness, also rang true.
