She Had a Very Inconvenient Heart: A Tale of Love and Magic - Paperback

by John Mark Green (Author)

"Once upon a time, there lived a woman afflicted by a heart that felt things far too deeply."

So begins the tale of Cardia, an empath longing to be free from emotional pain. Her desperate quest for relief leads her to a talking raven, the mysterious Collector of unborn dreams, and an unsavory surgeon wielding a magical knife.

At last, she finds peace. But when she meets Vatis-a traveling troubadour who falls deeply for her-Cardia must face a heartbreaking truth: Will she 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. Ideal for fantasy readers who loved The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle.
