Summary

A vivid, dreamlike novel about a group of people in the power of a mysterious man.

Annette runs away from her finishing school but learns more than she bargained for in the real world beyond; the fierce and melancholy Rosa is torn between two Polish brothers; Peter is obsessed by an indecipherable ancient script.

This is a story of a group of people under a spell, and the center of it all is the mysterious Mischa Fox, the enchanter.
