Twenty years ago, a young woman on the edge of adulthood spent a wondrous season with beings out of legend. Margaret Christmas drank tea with dwarves, befriended elves, questioned reality, and discovered her own unprecedented talents. Now, a conquering horde smashes across the local universe. Dvarsh civilisation mobilises in response: the queen returns to magical slumber; powerful mages deploy psionic defences; not one but two Jack Plenty's gird for battle. And Meg Christmas, on the cusp of a new transformation, surfs space and time, looking for options in the far reaches of being. This fast-moving follow-on to "Prelude to a Change of Mind" picks up and enlarges the tale of Meg, the Dvarsh, the Thrm, and their collective struggle to save both love and the planet. With charm and economy, Robert Stikmanz has mapped "Entranscing", the second book of "The Hidden Lands of Nod", to big ideas, great portents, grand adventure, and considerable fun.
