"Once upon a time, there lived a woman afflicted by a heart which felt things far too deeply."
Thus begins the tale of Cardia, an empath longing to be free from emotional pain. Her desperate quest for relief leads to a talking raven, the mysterious Collector of unborn dreams, and an unsavory surgeon with a magical knife. At last, she finds peace. But when she meets Vatis—a traveling troubadour who falls deeply for her—will Cardia be doomed to forever regret her desperate decision or will love triumph over every obstacle?
Poet John Mark Green has penned a moving story that explores the extremes the human heart can drive us to—a modern fairy tale for all who dare to believe in love and magic.
