"Marvel Epic Collections are large full-color trade paperback collections of previously published Marvel comics, typically containing 300-500 pages.

This collection is not released sequentially, as the priority is to fill in periods not covered by previous collections." --

When teenager Janet Ravenscroft is rescued from the night time streets of downtown Inverness by a mysterious man on a black motorbike, little does she imagine what lies in store. How could she know that this man holds the key to the mysteries that have plagued her life: her mixed heritage, her father''s casual cruelty, her mother''s absence, her sense that she''s never belonged? How could she know that her search for answers would lead her from the familiar environs of contemporary Scotland to the realm of faerie and that her life, her very soul, would be in jeopardy?

He now unveils his remarkable debut novel. Born of a vision of two people racing across a field on a motorbike with a trail of burning grass in their wake, and inspired by the Ballad of Tam Lyn, Vess has produced a book of true wonder.
