Once upon a time there was a country that existed only for one day, and a castaway named Adam who traveled the world over in search of this lost kingdom. Reared from infancy on an uncharted island, Adam has preserved himself from despair by imagining that a heroic destiny awaits him in the world beyond. Rescued by a disheveled trio of sailors, Adam comes to believe that he is the lost prince of the fabled country of Gildoray. But nobody else in the world believes that Gildoray even exists. Despite all this, Adam risks everything to reclaim his throne. Before his quest is over he will have battled pirates, warriors and gryphons; he will have weathered typhoons and plagues; and he will have both won and lost his princess and his children. THE WORLD OVER is a decidedly modern romance about a man in search of his home.
