Ballantine Books. 01/25/2005. 404 pgs. This historical fantasy, the first of a series, marks the fiction debut of singer Steve Cash, formerly a member of the band Ozark Mountain Devils. The book begins when, on Zianno Zezen's 12th birthday in 1881, he survives unscathed a train crash that kills both his parents. This prevents them from telling him an important secret: he is a Meq, a being who will never appear any older than 12 until he meets his preordained mate, at which point mortality will descend upon him.
