Hated and feared, magic was banished from the land. But now, freed from the spells of the wicked bloodmages, magic-both good and evil-returns. And Aren of Fallbrook feels her own power of sight strengthen and grow…
Overcome by visions of mayhem and murder, Aren vows to save her village from the ruthless raiders who have descended upon it-and killed her family. With the return of wildlings to the hills and forests, she strikes a bargain with the Hob, a magical, human-like creature imbued with the power of the mountains. But the Hob is the last of his kind. And he will exact a heavy price to defend the village-a price Aren herself must pay…

There's a reason why Briggs got famous with her DRAGON DUOLOGY and not with one of her earlier novels like THE HOB'S BARGAIN. The basic elements are all there (dire fates balanced by innate humour, a hint of romance, struggle with prejudices and oppression, magic ...) but something is missing. Call depth, call it eloquence or call it standard fare - the story never truly gels and several inconsistencies leave you puzzled.
I don't regret buying this book because I'm a huge fan of Patricia Briggs and the book does have its moments, but for an introduction to her works I would recommend DRAGON BONES or MOON CALLED.
