The Merchant of Elves

Asa makes a living as a fixer, pretending to intercede with elves she doesn't believe in to keep construction projects running smoothly in tourist-booming Iceland. Most everyone believes in the "Hidden People" except herbut that changes when she unexpectedly leaps into a magical realm. The impact of her work ends up biting her in the butt, as unruly supernatural figures make extreme demandsand issue extraordinary threats to back them up. Can Asa keep elves and humanity from lashing out at each other by making an unprecedented deal to save them all? If her skills as a salesperson can't cut it, ancient magic could bring the modern world to its knees and expose dark secrets that are better left hidden forever.
