Love Spell, Jan 2005, 5.99 ISBN: 0505526190 Jane Drysdale is driving her car when a blowout causes her vehicle to land in a ditch. Before she can call for assistance, elves arrive to rescue her. However, their rescue turns into more of an arrest when they take the bewildered human to the magical land of Lowth where she is on trial for murder. Jane quickly discovers that on this world she has the ability to use magic. As her hybrid (half human-half elf) lawyer Charlie defends her, Jane learns that she has a mission to save her new world from total destruction. With Charlie at her side (and a few other hovering places– what can you expect with a pair of wings?), Jane begins the quest to rescue Lowth, a seemingly impossible mission. Harriet Klausner | ||
