Siblings Ingledove and Lang journey to their mother's kingdom of Andantis--a hidden land born from a fusion of Old World and Cherokee traditions. En route, an evil serpent enchants Lang, and Ingledove must rely on their heritage to save him. Rich mythical elements abound and confound, especially when complicated concepts are not revisited or completely developed. Glos.

When both her father and her mother are spirited away, Adanta, guided by her father's cryptic old stories, travels deep into the Blue Ridge Mountains to find them. This imaginative fantasy is suffused with Cherokee mythology and peopled with giants and fairies, though it is sometimes difficult to determine which elements come from traditional sources and which are purely products of the author's imagination.
