ELF

The elves are dying. An energetic, peaceful, agrarian people, their idyllic existence is threatened now by the spectre of extinction. Their birth-rate has plummeted and their numbers are dwindling. In less than three centuries they will have died out completely. Inspired by the ancient legends of her people, Arabella-the free-thinking daughter of a simple goatherd-sets out to find the kind of magic that might save her race. The only problem is that magic exists in only one place-the world which they had fled over two thousand years ago to escape persecution and genocide. The world of man. Joe Brennan left Pittsburgh to assume the position of a small-town police chief. It promises peace and quiet and an escape from the fear and stress of the cruel city streets. But just as hes getting settled in, he discovers that there is something creeping around the small town of Kirbyville-something no one has encountered in over two millennia._,
