The most enchanting, folklore-flavored fantasy yet from Hugo Award-winning author C.J. Cherryh. Lost on a journey, the young Prince Tamas encounters the witch's apprentice, Ela. The land is at the mercy of warring goblins--but Ela possesses a shard of the Goblin Queen's enchanted mirror, and she plans to use it against the Queen.
In Seattle half-fae half human Camille D'Artigo smells the pixie dust that suddenly floods the air inside her Indigo Crescent bookstore when a unicorn says hello to her; followed by a hostile goblin, Sawberry fae and bugbear who demand that Feddrah Dahns turn over the pixie or else. Camille fires bolts at the goblin and bugbear while Feddrah knocks out the fae. A car runs over the bugbear while the fae escapes and the goblin is tied up. Camille calls the boyfriend of her were-cat sister Delilah police detective Chase to clean up the mess; the goblin escapes.
