Highly recommended."e; -Charles de Lint, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science FictionRosie Fox is a daughter of Aetherials, an ancient race from the Spiral-the innermost realm of the Otherworld-who live secretly among us. Yet she and her kind are bereft of their origins, because on Earth, in a beautiful village named Cloudcroft, the Great Gates between worlds stand sealed.Her parents, Auberon and Jessica, are the warm heart of her loving family. But on the hill lives the mysterious, aloof Lawrence Wilder, Gatekeeper to the inner realms. Tortured by private demons, he is beset by trouble on all sides; his wife has vanished and his sons Jon and Sam are bitter and damaged. Lawrence is duty-bound to throw open the Gates for the Night of the Summer Stars, a ritual granting Aetherials connection to their mystical heritage. But when he bars the Gates-haunted by fears of a deadly menace within the Spiral-he defies tradition and enrages the Aetherial community. What will become of them, starved of their essential life force? Is Lawrence betraying them-or protecting them?Growing up amid this turmoil, Rosie and her brothers, along with Sam and Jon Wilder, resign themselves to living as humans.

Sensitive characterisation and evocative scene-setting draw you into the tale; you won't want to leave it."e; -Storm Constantine, author of the Wraeththu Chronicles"e;A heady cocktail of urban fantasy and wild romance, invigorating and intoxicating. Warrington's writing has lyrical beauty, and her characters are a delight to discover."e; -Justina Robson, author of Glorious Angels"e;Romantic in every sense, richly imagined and richly told, Elfland is a complex fantasy of the heart, the faerie heart; and it's a delight.
