Trigger Warning
: Sexual assault and death. Parts of this book delve into a demonic darkness that has plagued the area for centuries.
Innes Callahan is out of sorts. It's the vernal equinox and he can't find any balance. In fact, everything is foggy. It's spiritually, emotionally, and meteorologically foggy. Then Yanko, his ex-lover's husband-that he really doesn't like that much, shows up in a new boat full of faeries saying they need to find his balls-metaphorical magical balls, that is.
Against his better judgment and at the urging of his family, he gets in the boat for a trip upriver to Hidden Springs. What he doesn't know is the spirit of Flora May Crawford and the Time-Dragons have their own agenda. A whirlwind journey through the past, present, and future reveals secrets about Big Cypress County, his past, and future sorrows. Will he claim his magical balls and become the River Druid his father wanted him to be or will he choose the life of a simple barkeeper? And will he learn it's dangerous to learn too much about your past and future? Get this book and find out!
