Mirari is the story of Virgil, a man who has lost his capacity for wonder. Magically transported to the fairy tale world of Mirari, he is given the quest of retrieving a precious cup long ago stolen from his hosts of the Middle Kingdom. Journeying forth on horseback with a cat and a peregrine falcon as his companions, Virgil encounters many and varied creatures and adventures, gradually learning to see the world through new eyes. He falls in love with Lily, who is pursuing her own quest, and together they gain a renewed sense of wonder. [author bio]Lyndall Morgan lives in Colorado. This is her first novel.
