This is Book 1 of the ‘Elysia and Beyond’ duology – but it works as a standalone too.
KIM is a kelpie agent from the realm of Elysia tasked to locate a human-fae hybrid with enough latent fae magic in their blood to restore the kelpies to their natural form – an ability snatched away by a vengeful dark fae witch. Her current project, BENJI, may be the unsuspecting donor she’s been looking for.
Hapless Edinburgh University student, Benji, has no idea why he keeps having blackouts and weird dreams until he discovers his girlfriend, Kim, has been drugging him, so he flees the flat they have been sharing, and holes up with his psychology teacher, Professor LONG – a wizard incognito.
Kim finds Benji and takes him to Elysia where they undertake a perilous journey, pursued by dangerous beings out of myth.
Later, when Benji is whisked away by a mysterious winged being, Kim sets out to track him down, but war is coming to Elysia and they are both caught up in the middle of it. Fast-paced high fantasy.
