The Fire I Called (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645520903)

Brimming with adventure and forbidden love, The Fire I Called captures the struggle of acceptance in an antiquated world.

Following the murder of her best friend, Chalia Lainslaid escapes her perilous life in the city by moving to Belbury-on-the-Brook. Nestled in the British countryside, the stodgy village is about as exciting as a punch to the nose. Just as Chalia can't take it anymore, her life takes an interesting-and dangerous-turn when she falls for the fascinating and beautiful Elanil.

Elanil is one of Belbury's secrets. She, like many others, is an elf, and her kind have been refugees in the village for the last seventy years. But she isn't the only secret Belbury keeps; there is one other, one which will burn them all to ash unless Chalia can let go of her past and embrace who she is meant to be.
