The War Of The Flowers
ByPublisher Description
An “unforgettable” urban fantasy that “turns faerie lore on its ear”—by a New York Times–bestselling author (Library Journal)!
A rock musician plummets into the dangerous world of the Faeries—with a foul-mouthed sprite as his only ally—in this “masterpiece of fantasy worldbuilding” (Locus).
Theo Vilmos is a 30-year-old lead singer in a not terribly successful rock band. Once, he had enormous, almost magical charisma, both onstage and off—but now, life has taken its toll on Theo.
Hitting an all-time low, he seeks refuge in a isolated cabin in the woods. While there, he reads an odd memoir written by a dead relative who believed he had visited the magical world of Faerie. And before Theo can disregard the account as the writings of a madman, he, too, is drawn to a place beyond his wildest dreams . . . a place that will be, and has always been, his destiny.
Returning to the fantasy genre that made him a coast-to-coast best-selling phenomenon, Tad Williams writes this stand-alone contemporary fantasy novel, set in Northern California—and also in the strange parallel world that coexists in the farthest reaches of the imagination.

“I felt like it was such a long journey and I loved it! Many people said that it started to slowly but even before Theo went over to the other world I was still hooked. The only reason this is not a 5 star book is only because it isn’t something I would’ve typically picked up, but the writing is insane. Absolutely magical, even I didn’t enjoy the book it would still be amazing to me how thoughtful and articulate the writing is. Overall a great story and great book, 10/10!!”Hanna Streng
