Shadows of the Redwood by Gillian Summers

Keelie Heartwood, the half elf girl of the Faire Folk Trilogy, is back in a darker fantasy. Gillian Summers, a pseudonym for authors Berta Platas and Michelle Roper, created a rich and palpable world in her first trilogy. This time, Keelie will face a goblin prophecy and a new threat to the trees, elves, and all the magical creatures she loves. Unlike the previous novels, Shadows of the Redwood, features little of the ren-faire life that readers have come to expect. Instead, Shadows features Los Angeles, Shakespeare, and trees with a dark and threatening power. With more hot-elf, Sean, action and growing friendships both inside and outside the elf world, Keelie’s new adventure is one readers won’t want to miss. You might want to read the first trilogy before diving in, however, or this darker turn might be quite so satisfying.
