Moonheart is an urban fantasy novel by Canadian writer Charles de Lint. In the story, Sara Kendell and Jamie Tamson, owners of an antique store,enter the Otherworld, and have to team up with a wizard to rescue two different worlds. Meanwhile, she bonds with the Welsh bard Taliesin.
The story takes place in 1980s Ottawa, where Sara Kendell and Jamie Tamson, owners of an antique store, come into possession of a peculiar ring. At the same time Kieran Foy, a wizard of sorts, is searching for his missing mentor, Thomas Hengwr, while simultaneously eluding the newly formed Project Mindreach from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. When Sara and Kieran run into each other and end up in "the other world", they find that there is much more to Sara and to Tamson House (Sara and Jamie's house the size of a city block) than previously known. But when an ancient evil resurfaces and threatens to destroy both worlds (and all the people within), the officers, wizards, and Tamson House residents have to learn to work together to destroy the monster.
