Dingo by Charles de Lint

(Firebird - 2008)

Rating: Good

Miguel's dad owns a music and comic book shop. One day, Lainey, just moved to town from Australia, comes into the shop. Miguel feels an instant connection, and it seems to be mutual. But why, when he sees her on the beach the next day, is she cold to him? And what's the story behind her pet dog, who looks just like an Australian dingo, and the large pawprints that seem to be stalking Miguel?

He was Ceirin of Wran Cheaping.  She was the Grey Rose.  He had the power of the Bards unawakened inside him.  She had the power of the gods and a curse of death on her.  Together they might save the world--or lose it.

 I love Charles de Lint, and this is another of his truly magical books.
