What is The Hob's Bargain about?
Product DescriptionTo save her village from ruthless raiders, Aren of Fallbrook strikes a bargain with the Hob, a magical, humanlike creature imbued with the power of the mountains. But the Hob will exact a heavy price to defend the village--a price Aren herself must pay. From the AuthorIf 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 [email protected] -Patricia Briggs PS. Roadkill is my cat's name.
