Fans of Charles de Lint's fantasy tales will most likely really enjoy Hetley's THE SUMMER COUNTRY. Would you believe down and dirty, urban-gritty fairies and dragons?
From back cover:
For twenty-eight years, Maureen Pierce has led a fairly ordinary life, maybe a slightly tough one for a woman her age, growing up on the wrong side of the poverty line in Naskeag Falls, Maine. But she did all right.
Then she met Brian Albion, and everything changed. If she can believe him--and Maureen has had some hard lessons in why you don't believe men--she carries a blood legacy that goes back to the old country. Only this is the really old country, the land of Mordred and Merlin, where deadly battles are still fought with magic, and a woman who carries the blood of the Old Ones is a prize to be desired-or a threat to be destroyed.
