Bones of Faerie

Bones of Faerie by Janni Lee Simner  247 pp.

This post-apocalyptic story takes place after the war between man and faerie. It's another fantasy with the Gateway Arch as a centerpiece--who new it was such a magical place? Liza lives with her abusive father who is still rabidly anti-magic even though the war has been over for years. He leaves Liza's infant sister in the woods to die because she shows signs of having magical powers and drives his wife away. When Liza begins having visions of her mother she knows she must go find her as well as keep her abilities from her father. She travels with her friend Matthew, a shape-shifter and Allie, a healer through dangerous forests and waters to the arch to find her mother. It gives an interesting and different twist to the usual stories of Fairy/Faerie/Fey.
