The War of the Flowers – Tad Williams

In the great city, in a dimly lit office of a mighty tower, two deadly creatures meet. A dark bargain is struck, and the master of the House of Hellebore gives an order:  'War is coming. The child must die'.

In our own world, a young man discovers a manuscript written by his great uncle. It seems to be a novel - a strange fairy tale of fantastic creatures and a journey to a magical realm.  But it is written as a diary… as if the events were real… as if his uncle had sought and found another world.

 Or as if another world has found him.....
