    About this ebook

    Jehan rides out to the hunt as a storm approaches. He's heard tales of elves who steal away young knights to their palace under the hill - but he never thinks it might happen to him.

    When the elf queen and her consort take a fancy to Jehan, he enters a world of strange delights - very strange indeed.
