Fountainville

By Tishani Doshi

Gang wars, opium dreams and a mysterious clinic are all part of the landscape in the remote borderland town of Fountainville. But when Owain Knight arrives, his entanglement with the owner of the town's magical fountain, her mobster husband and her assistant, Luna, spells a terrible change for them all. Fountainville is the tenth and final tale in Seren's New Stories from the Mabinogion series and weaves together Celtic and Indian cultures.
