When Isambard Kerne, Royal Flying Corps observer, goes missing in action in the opening battle of the First World War, he is transported into a nightmarish limbo - both imprisoned and released by his wife's grieving love. Separated from his biplane and pilot, Kerne awakes in an unknown mountainous land where he meets wild Merlin - who is trapped in the form of a falcon. The feathered magician becomes the airman's guide, leading him to the Chlak Folk who carve giants from the foothills of the dead..... The past shall not rest, nor the dead stay in peace, in this gripping adventure from a magical storyteller.
