Rosewing — Steve Elliott

Something very unexpected has happened to Tracey. To the astonishment of all, she finds herself to be pregnant and she soon becomes a mother. But that's not all that happens. Her baby suddenly disappears, along with Tricks and Quina. Kidnapped? Run away? No one knows and it's up to Zen, that most marvelous of canine trackers, to find out what's going on. And then another threat appears on the horizon. A secret cult of fanatics regard Stephen and Tracey's offspring as an evil incarnation who will destroy the fairy race. When all seems lost, they find themselves rescued by a second group, following a diametrically alternate prophecy, who regard their baby as a savior incarnate. Which prophecy is the correct one? And what is the dreadful secret the rescuers are so desperate to hide? Stephen and his companions are pointed towards the final answer by the most extraordinary and impossible of visitors.
