About this product
Product Information
The seventh novel in Mercedes Lackey's magical Elemental Masters series reimagines the fairy tale East of the Sun, West of the Moon in a richly-detailed alternate Victorian England For as long as she could remember, Mari Prothero had seen things--things that shouldn't, that couldn't be real: tiny manlike creatures that were mischievous and wore only seaweed, and beings that spoke to her kindly, but seemed to be made of water. Mari had grown up in tiny Welsh fishing village where she lived alone with her father, Daffyd, a master fisherman--her mother and brother having drowned when she was a child. Mari had long ago given up trying to talk to her father about the creatures she saw. But on the morning of her eighteenth birthday, her father finally told her the great secret of the Prothero family. Her family had an ancient covenant with magical shape-shifters, the Selch, who were half-human, half-seal people. Her lost mother and brother were not truly dead, but neither were they human. Now Mari must abide by her family's magical compact, or face dire consequences. But Mari was not without protectors. The tiny creatures she had seen her whole life counseled her to bargain with the Selch. While in faraway London, Lord Alderscroft, head of the Elemental Masters, was aware that a powerful but untrained Water Master on the far coast of Wales was being threatened by some of the Elemental Elder Spirits, and he had dispatched some very unique champions to come to Mari's aid....

Reviews
Praise for the Elemental Masters series: "The Paris of Degas, turn-of-the-century Blackpool, and the desperation of young girls without family or other protection come to life in a story that should interest a broad readership ." -- Booklist "All in fine fairy-tale tradition .... It's grim fun, with some nice historical detail, and just a hint of romance to help lighten things." -- Locus "The action and dialogue flow freely, mingling with beautiful descriptions of European countryside and just a hint of romance.... A well-developed heroine and engaging story ." -- Publishers Weekly "The fifth in the series involving the mysterious Elemental Masters, this story of a resourceful young dancer also delivers a new version of a classic fairy tale. Richly detailed historic backgrounds add flavor and richness to an already strong series that belongs in most fantasy collections. Highly recommended." -- Library Journal "Lackey's fantastical world of Elementals, plus her delightful Nan and Sarah, create an amusing contrast for Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.... The mix of humor, history, fantasy, and mystery is balanced in a way that any reader could pick up the book and thoroughly enjoy it from beginning to end." -- RT Reviews "The Elementals novels are beautiful, romantic adult fairy tales . Master magician Mercedes Lackey writes a charming fantasy." --Worlds of Wonder "Ms. Lackey is a master in fantasy , and this visit to an alternate historical England is no exception. Vivid characterization and believable surroundings are flawlessly joined in a well-detailed world." --Darque Reviews "I find Ms. Lackey's Elemental Masters series a true frolic into fantasy ." -- Fantasy Book Spot, Praise for Home from the Sea : "Lackey's way with character description is phenomenal. I greatly enjoy being one of thos epeople who is able to visualize books in such detail that it's lamost as though I'm watching a movie, and Lackey does not disappoint in this regard. Every time I was interrupted whilst trying to read this book,when I came back I momentarily forgot I was reading at all. This book was fantastic , and I can't wait to start the series at the beginning." --Bookshelf Bombshells "Lighter in tone with more emphasis on romance than some of the previous titles, this fairy-tale homage offers a variant view on the usually tragic love between humans and selkies, and should attract both series fans and Lackey's sizable following ." -- Library Journal "With a nod to the Nordic tale 'East of the Sun and West of the Moon,' the latest Elemental Masters historical fantasy is a thrilling tale , due to the brave heroine who will fight for those she cherishes and to keep what is rightfully hers." -- Midwest Book Review And for the previous novels of the Elemental Masters : " This is Lackey at her best , mixing whimsy and magic with a fast-paced plot." -- Publishers Weekly "Richly detailed historical backgrounds add flavor and richness to an already strong series that belongs in most fantasy collections . Highly recommended." -- Library Journal (starred) " Fans of fantasy will be thrilled by Lackey's clever fairy-tale adventure." -- Booklist "I find Ms. Lackey's Elemental Masters series a true frolic into fantasy ." -- Fantasy Book Spot "Lackey has delivered another fine entry into the Elemental Masters series.... The storyline and subplots are smoothly woven together and as usual, Lackey's character development is delightful ." -- Monsters & Critics " All in fine fairy-tale tradition .... It's grim fun, with some nice historical detail, and just a hint of romance to help lighten things." -- Locus
