The Folk of the Air - Beagle, Peter S.

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to edges of covers; otherwise bright and unfaded; spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; When Farrell returned to Avicenna after years away, he found his oldest friend Ben living with an older woman, Sia. Ben was also mixed up with the League for Archaic Pleasures - a group that playacted at medieval chivalry. Nothing was quite as it seemed. Some members of the League were not just playacting - they sometimes were the medieval characters they portrayed. Sia's house had rooms that appeared and disappeared. And Sia had enormous powers when she chose to exert her will. While attending a League rvel with his girlfriend Julie, Farrell saw the young self-proclaimed witch Aiffe conjure Nicholas Bonner out of the air - and Bonner had been sent to limbo five centuries before! Bonner and Aiffe made malicious chaos of the League's annual mock war. But Bonner really sought the defeat and end of Sia. Gradually, Farrell realized that Bonner was an evil greater than the modern world had ever known. Only Sia could stand against it. But Sia retreated to a room that could not be and hid in illusion.
