    About this ebook

    Kate Silver slams the truck door closed. Her tennis shoes grinding into the loose gravel. Ready to run, to leave and never look back.

    Tired of being lied to. Of her grandmother and this tiny town, where everyone knows about her mysterious heritage—except her.

    Kate demands answers.

    This time, magic answers.

    The fifth installment in the popular Elven Heritage series. A story of an ancient elven race, the magic they left behind, and the young woman stubborn enough to keep searching.

    "I love this [story]; it was a very fast and clear read. A wonderful coming-of-age fantasy novel." —Dean Wesley Smith, USA Today Bestselling Author, on Hidden in Time

      About the Author

      Hidden in Flight

      Kate did her best, her absolute best, not to slam the behemoth truck’s door behind her.

      The heavy metal of the door, all banged up and dented from God-knows-what (Grandma probably hitting a deer or two, or hell, maybe a moose). The red, slightly rusted and peeling paint seemed to slide off by the bucket-load. She dug her toes into the gravel ground of the grocery store parking lot, white tennis shoes no longer white but scuffed and dirty. The loose gravel shifted and gave way to her temper. And why gravel? Because here in Lighthome, Montana, they didn’t exactly have a lot of money lying about for things like nicely paved, perfectly smooth roads. And why would they need them? It wasn’t as if this was a hot spot for tourists, or hell, even visitors. In fact, this town, just like her grandmother, did absolutely everything possible to ensure that anyone who happened to stop on by wanted to leave.

      Immediately.

      The heat from the midday sun beat down on her, soaking through her shirt and making her sweat in seconds. Maybe she shouldn’t have worn black after all. Maybe she should have actually listened to grandmother, too, about leaving the jeans at home.

      And that was all she was supposed to do? Just listen to her grandmother? Take everything she said on faith and simply trust the old bat?

      Kate dug her fingers into that hard, cool metal, doing her absolute best to not throw her own temper tantrum.

      And would have totally succeeded, too, slinging her beat-up backpack over her shoulder, preparing to run away without damaging that monstrous beast of a truck…if Grandma hadn’t opened her mouth.

      Again.

      Don’t you walk away from me. Kate!

      So, Kate slammed the door. Then, before Grandma got another word in, she stormed right into the small, closest-sized grocery store with its peeling-paint letters: Lighthome Groceries. Not as if she could avoid her grandmother for long, not when the store was the size of a thimble, but at least Kate had a few minutes of alone time, a few minutes to orientate herself and figure out what the hell she was going to do next.

      She covered her slightly pointed ears with her long hair, hair that couldn’t decide if some days it wanted to be blond and other days, a not-pretty version of it with all the dark it
