In the final part of Steve Augarde’s captivating trilogy, past and present are connected, and the interwoven threads lead to an astonishing series of revelations.
Midge’s discovery of the hidden tribes is like a dream to her now, their existence all but forgotten. But then a voice calls out to her in the winter darkness. The Various have returned, and their desperation has made them all the more dangerous. They must travel to Elysse or perish. The only way that Midge can help the little people is by tracing the whereabouts of her great-great-aunt Celandine. But Celandine must be long dead, surely?
A story of danger and magic, friendship and betrayals, this is fantasy writing at its very best.

From Booklist:
In this stirring conclusion to The Various (2004) and Celandine (2006), Midge and her family are moving to Mill Farm, where Midge cherishes a photograph of her great-aunt Celandine and wisps of memory of the Various, little winged folk, engaged in fierce disagreement over an ancient pair of artifacts, the Orbis and Touchstone. Midge discovers Celandine still alive in a local nursing home, where she’s kept the all-but-forgotten Orbis. As the wee folk deal with wild passion and difficult politics, Midge tries to find a connection with them. A tender love story between members of two rival Various groups makes a powerful and occasionally grim subplot. Grades 7-10. --GraceAnne A. DeCandido
