about the book

The roadside fairies have lived alongside us for many years, living by paths in secret dwellings across the lands before there were major roads and motor vehicles. Their main role was to heal creatures when they became ill or sustained injuries using their magic and potions. Over time, the roadside fairies had to readjust and move their dwellings due to major roads being built and vehicles becoming extremely fast and dangerous. The creatures of the forests needed the roadside fairies help more than ever as more and more where being injured. The roadside fairies, led by Great Elders, had learned to communicate with the creatures who held them in very high esteem. Young fairies called Limes start to rebel against the old ways, wanting to acquire the sacred ‘Book of the Elders’ that contained old dark magic that had not been used for centuries. This book was protected by a Great Elder called Beatri. Clover, a young girl living in a commune in the forest, is drawn into the battle to protect ‘The Book of the Elders’.
