In a small unaffected village outside of the city, the townsfolk of a close-knit community rarely leave and they even more rarely have any visitors. So when a young man named Adam arrives, the village is feverish in welcoming the newcomer. It's not long before the tranquility of the halcyon settlement is disturbed with off-kilter ordeals, setting into motion a series of events affecting each dweller.

With In a Small, Quiet Village, author Ian A. Hollis brings a slice-of-life story with intriguing magical realism elements, the first volume in the Cities & Villages saga.
