Vessel Between Ages

About this book

Vessel Between Ages is a bright, headlong, romantic adventure across a thousand years and one clay vase. Nora Whitlock, thirty two, lives alone in a small American city with a vase her grandfather left her, a squat old thing with a worn glaze that she keeps because he did. One morning the vase begins to give things up: a bloodstained rag, a buckle, a spoon, objects that could not possibly be inside it. Nora tests it the only way a practical woman can, by dropping her leftover lunch in, and it vanishes. A thousand years away, in a castle under siege in a dry season, King Aldric of a small kingdom the world has forgotten watches food appear from the vessel on his table, and his steward Otho declares it holy, and they set it on a high table hung with garlands and wait.
