Halfling — Cindy C. Bennett

Banished from the South Pole, Kara tries to carve out a new life among the elves of the North. It's not easy with a secret to protect -- a secret she's cursed with by the unusual circumstances of her heritage: half-elf, half-fairy. In the North, she's assigned to work with Seb on a special project. He's the most gorgeous elf she's ever seen -- and the orneriest. As if being banished wasn't punishment enough. Seb introduces her to Trystin, a fairy from the nearby fairy forest. Trystin discerns her secret right away and promises to teach her how to use the powers given to her by the very thing she's fighting to keep hidden.
