description: This is an enchanted place. Others don't see it but I do.The enchanted place is an ancient stone prison viewed through the eyes of a death row inmate who finds escape in his books and in re-imagining life around him weaving a fantastical story of the people he observes and the world he inhabits. Fearful and reclusive he senses what others cannot. Though bars confine him every minute of every day he marries magical visions of golden horses running beneath the prison heat flowing like molten metal from their backs with the devastating violence of prison life.Two outsiders venture here: a fallen priest and the Lady an investigator who searches for buried information from prisoners' pasts that can save those soon-to-be-executed. Digging into the background of a killer named York she uncovers wrenching truths that challenge familiar notions of victim and criminal innocence and guilt honour and corruption-ultimately revealing shocking secrets of her own.
