One of deLint's earlier works, Moonheart is a tale of romance, mystery, and adventure that incorporates copious amounts of Welsh myth and Native American legend in the Canadian dream-forests. Rich in adventure, the tale follows Sara and her uncle Jamie as they discover secrets about their family, their House, and the magic that has suddenly become entwined throughout their life. They become caught up in one mage's ancient quest to end the life of another, and must figure out a way to get out alive.
