Nothing is quite what it seems when a couple of visitors enter the Borderland from different directions. "The wind's from the south " opens up worlds of possibility for the people of the small hamlet of Whisky Dog, the Whisky Dog Arms Hotel and its guests. Edges is not really a typical fantasy sequence: the six novels, of which Borderland is the first, explore strange realms, but also odd people, and peculiar ways of looking at the world; as well as quite ordinary people and their lives.
