Aisling's Revelation - Vicki Wootton - Bog

When her grandmother dies suddenly, Aisling's life is turned upside down. The fifteen-year-old girl doesn't know how she is going to keep the smallholding going. She is now alone in the world with no family she can turn to for help. For the past two days, she senses someone loitering around the cottage, but she never actually sees anyone until the day of the old woman's passing when a stranger appears at the door. The stranger, and a female companion who turns up later, reveal they are Elves and convince her that she is an Elf too, and that they have been sent by her birth parents to bring her home. Once she is convinced, she agrees to go with them and they embark on the journey to the realm of Light, but on the way disaster strikes. ... The first thing Aisling is aware of is the awful smell. It is like a combination of rotting meat and the horrible stinkweed that grows near the cottage. The air is musty and the rock wall is damp under her back. When she tries to move her foot, an excruciating pain shoots up her leg... Suitable for young readers and adults of any age.
