The Flight of Michael McBride — Midori Snyder

MICHAEL MCBRIDE is a sheltered young man from an Irish-American family in New York City -- until the secrets that lie beneath his family's genteel existence begin to crumble under his feet, sending him running for his life.

His flight from the Old World's Unseelie Court will lead him far into the wilds of the New. But magic, Michael McBride will discover, is not something a man can simply outrun.

For the Texas frontier has a magic all its own: as ancient as the land -- as vast and as powerful -- fueled by the mingled dreams of natives and newcomers alike. With death at his heels, and the ghost of his past, Michael will run till he can run no more.

This is his story, an American tale: of the myths, legends, the dreams and nightmares rooted in the American West.
