War for the Oaks

by Emma Bull · 1987

When rock‑singer Eddi McCandry’s band collapses and her boyfriend walks out, she’s left nursing a broken heart on the streets of downtown Minneapolis. A late‑night walk home thrusts her into a hidden war between rival faerie courts, and suddenly the city’s neon lights flicker with ancient magic. As the only human who can see the otherworldly players, Eddi becomes a pawn in a centuries‑old struggle that threatens both the fairy realm and her own world. Amid fierce battles, seductive enchantments, and the pulse of live music, she must choose loyalty, love, and her own voice. Emma Bull’s debut novel blends gritty urban life with lyrical fantasy, delivering a fresh, unforgettable take on modern urban fantasy.
