Synopsis
#1 New York Times bestselling author Patrica Briggs presents a tale of beauty meets beast in this romantic fantasy novel.
Hated and feared, magic was banished from the land. But now, freed from the spells of the wicked bloodmages, magic-both good and evil-returns. And Aren of Fallbrook feels her own power of sight strengthen and grow...
Overcome by visions of mayhem and murder, Aren vows to save her village from the ruthless raiders who have descended upon it-and killed her family. With the return of wildlings to the hills and forests, she strikes a bargain with the Hob, a magical, human-like creature imbued with the power of the mountains. But the Hob is the last of his kind. And he will exact a heavy price to defend the village-a price Aren herself must pay...

From the Author
If you've read any of my other books, you'll know that I like my worlds dark, and my characters tough and funny enough that the books don't really qualify as dark fantasy, The Hob's Bargain is no exception. I first started this book because I wanted to write an apocalyptic fantasy. Since I was reading Charles de Lint and Emma Bull's The War of the Oaks, I decided to set up my world with Northern European (primarily British and Gaelic) fey. Like most storytellers, though, I couldn't help but add my own 10 cents worth (especially to the Hob) -- so don't expect a Spenceresque fairy story. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Comments are welcome. My email is roadkill@owt.com
