January 30, 2017
In the gripping fifth novel starring the mysterious, fairy-descended Tufa (after Chapel of Ease), the Appalachian mountains of Tennessee once again come alive with magic, music, and mystery. Bledsoe adeptly blends fairy tales and folklore as he expands the concept of exiled fairies, much diminished, dwelling in the mountains and hollows of America. When a young Tufa woman, Kera Rogers, is killed by an enormous feral hog, it throws her community into upheaval. Both of her boyfriends, Adam Procure and Duncan Gowen (who has just learned of Kera’s involvement with Adam), vow to hunt down the animal; the Tufa leaders look for supernatural causes behind the attack; and the human authorities seek to protect everyone, unaware of any strangeness in the air. When the hog claims another victim, it seems as though the situation will only be resolved through the use of skillful song and the intervention of uneasy spirits. In this installment, Bledsoe explores grief, guilt, love, and despair as a not-so-random car crash sets off a chain of tragedy and reprisal. The only thing marring this beautifully atmospheric tale is a framing sequence that, while solidly executed, draws away some of the tension. Still, Bledsoe comfortably inhabits the space where rural fantasy and magic realism overlap and makes it his own. Agent: Marlene Stringer, Stringer Literary.

Kera Rogers, a young woman of the mysterious Tufa, disappears while hiking the woods of Cloud County. It appears she was attacked by an unusually large wild boar, but things are never simple when they involve the Tufa, descendants of otherworldly fae beings. Kera's boyfriend Duncan mourns her death, but he is also consumed by jealousy when he discovers she had another lover. While local hunters look for the boar, Duncan seeks revenge. VERDICT The latest entry (after Chapel of Ease) in this marvelous series combines human drama with just a touch of otherworldly magic. The split nature of the Tufa community is further explored, but Bledsoe never reduces the two sides to basic good vs. evil, as he allows his characters to make their own choices.--MM
