A new novel from John Crowley, the award-winning author of the celebrated novel "Little, Great, or The Parliament of Faerie," considered one of the most magical works of literature of all time.

A masterful blend of history and magic.

While the ancient clans of Ireland fought to preserve their lands and way of life, the Queen of England and her generals struggled to tame these wild lands and bring the land of green hills under Albion's control.

Hugh O'Neill, Lord of the North, named Earl of Tyrone by Elizabeth I, is caught between two fires: the Queen communicates with Hugh through a small obsidian mirror he can never rid himself of, while the ancient peoples of Ireland rise from the underworld to make Hugh their protector, offering him a piece of flint as a sign of their oath.

Much of this story is true, and at times it seems as if it's not fiction at all. Are we dealing with a grand historical novel woven with strands of fantasy, or, conversely, a great fantasy novel grounded in historical reality? If Neil Gaiman teamed up with Hilary Mantel, you might get something like Flint and Mirror.
