Trama

Lured to a remote farmhouse by a deceitful relative, a young family fall victim to malevolent fairies who need sacrifices to renew their magical life force.

Elemental spirits have held power over the human world since its inception. The relationship, however, is symbiotic. Elfame is a fairy kingdom ruled by Melisandria and it is dying, the required ritual sacrifice is late. Elspeth Moore's family are bound to Elfame, every generation a child has been offered for sacrifice to renew Elfame's magical energy. When Kate Richards receives a letter from her estranged great-aunt Elspeth offering a place to stay when they need it most, they gratefully accept not realising they are being lured towards their demise.—Simon
