Description: ONE SMALL MISTAKE… Just one misstep and now young elf Gwenyre’s life is changed forever.

After accidentally breaking trollish law, Gwenyre faces a horribly unfair sentence: a lifetime of indentured servitude at the prison estate Gatehouse. The estate is run by troll wardens - the most fearsome of which, Sylvan, seems to have it out for the little elf. Though she is determined to get back to her family and leave Gatehouse forever, Gwenyre soon finds things to love about the prison as it becomes home: best friends, mentors, and even a romantic interest in the human Lord Sampson.

While there, she discovers many things about herself, from family secrets to unknown levels of magic. Can she find true happiness in the worst of circumstances, or will Sylvan’s cruelty lead to her destruction? Find out when you step through the doors of Gatehouse, the debut novel of Bree Aguiar.

This coming-of-age YA fantasy is a quick read for the beach (or even when cuddled up by a warm fireplace). It's a warm story that includes all the great elements of traditional fantasies - action, magic, friendship and, of course, romance.

Recommended ages: 14+
