Chapter One: Note 17

by Jake Jackson

‘…seeking the magic bucket. One rub and it will fill with treasure. He has to possess it. Between him and the bucket is a shimmering stretch of ground, full of hot magic, burning and reeking of anger.’

Luz is imaginative, that’s why the Sidhe have an interest in him (and all dreamers, storytellers, poets and musicians) beause he is a creative person whose energies can be used to feed their existence, through the dream warriors. It is important to establish the creative credentials to validate Luz’s importance to the Sidhe. For half of the book it seems as though the Sidhe are forcing him to write the poetry. In fact there is a deeper game, which Luz does not uncover until close to the end.
