OLDER FICTION
Elliott, Patricia

Ambergate

(2) YA Elliott (Murkmere) returns to her gothic fantasy world, focusing on the orphan kitchen-drudge nicknamed Scuff. Guilty of a crime she won't name, Scuff flees Murkmere. Her discovery of her own identity is satisfying both for its unexpected grandeur and for the way it reflects her journey from pawn to actor in her own destiny. Elliott's assured, atmospheric writing will keep readers enthralled.
