History, mystery, contemporary romance and magic ... A whimsical tale about money and its unknown otherworldly origins.
It is midnight, and you are sleeping.
I am here at the table with a candle at my elbow, penning the most difficult letter I have ever had to write.
They are coming for me. Samuel Withers saw them in the village…
ENGLAND 1767
Edward Lillibridge is writing a farewell letter to his son. The controversial author faces trial for heresy after revealing, in a book, the true beginnings of money.
FAST FORWARD TO 2008
...six months before the Global Financial Crisis rocks the economy. Lillibridge’s Our True Ancient History—published under the guise of fiction—is out of print, available only at antiquarian bookshops and largely overlooked.
Until now.
Rosetta Melki, an idealist whose dream of starting a worldwide charity has been all but crushed by her solo-parent struggles, is enchanted by Our True Ancient History. Lillibridge’s tale about a gold-obsessed empire (and the sprites they oppress: elfin clan dwellers whose currency of choice is kindness) has evoked a memory Rosetta cannot explain.
Rosetta's website, built around the reading group she started with friends, has ignited a wave of Lillibridge book clubs worldwide. Their Sydney circle gathers fortnightly at her cosy, lamplit cottage—a vintage rental she found after escaping a terrifying intruder.
In a more affluent part of Sydney, finance executive Matthew Weissler (polished, successful, admired) has been questioning his slave-to-the-dollar existence and his marriage to a tantrum-throwing shopaholic. And now he's questioning his sanity after finding he's been followed by an elf.
Rosetta's pursuer still lurks in the shadows, but what is the stranger’s game? Prowler from the suburb she fled with her daughter...or traveller from the past, sent to suppress an ancient memory?
