The Stone of Dreams

Classic fantasy by the acclaimed grandmaster of Nebula, holder of Hugo, Locus, and Prometheus awards — Caroline Cherry. The story of fairies, as it should be, — resembling an old myth, full of inexpressible beauty and sorrow. A prose ballad... about several generations of people whose lands are located next to an enchanted forest, which causes many worries but can help those whose hearts remain pure. True dreamers will appreciate the stunning colors and atmosphere. Magic is flowing out of the world. Such is the inexorable law of time and the will of Man, who commands fire and iron. There is hardly any place left for wild, primal, archaic magic. There is only Eldwood, a small, gloomy but proud forest, hiding wonders in its heart from uninvited guests, which is almost impossible to reach. There is only Eldwood and its unchanging guardian in a nondescript gray cloak, the last of the high Shi people. There is only Eldwood and the piercing story of longing for what is lost and the light that does not fade despite everything. Visit the hidden world; let it be torn by war, but driven by the wave of the author's intent, we will see much beauty in it. This is the end of magic in the world of men, the end of elves, and it is sad, but it is fated. — The Rambles
