AURORA AWARD WINNER
The Walker is a child of the two Realms of the Continuum, a prince of Order and of Chaos—and a rebel against both. When he falls in love with an ephemeral, a mortal woman who is the key to the balance between the Realms, he triggers a struggle for her life—and the fate of her universe.
Fantasy short story
Reviews
"A very different sort of tale. ... A cosmic story of gods...inspired by the works of Michael Moorcock, and I think he would not be ashamed of it." —SF Crowsnest Reviews
"A tale of epic love when a mortal gets caught between a battle of the gods. Smith reminds us that we have the potential to change the world around us and that self-sacrifice can be a means of making the world around us better." —Speculating Canada
"Doug Smith is, quite simply, the finest short-story writer Canada has ever produced in the science fiction and fantasy genres... His stories are a treasure trove of riches that will touch your heart while making you think." —Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author
"A great storyteller with a gifted and individual voice."* —Charles de Lint, award-winning fantasy author*
"One of Canada's most original writers of speculative fiction."* —Library Journal*
