"A killer story. Characters leap off the page with delicious moral complexities. Randee has brought something unique and rich to the mythology of the fae, and that is no mean feat." – LJ Cohen, author of Derelict and Litany for a Broken World
Seventeen-year-old Lexi has been living in a remote stretch of the Rocky Mountain woods since her father dragged her there ten years ago, after her mother and baby brother were afflicted with a magical sickness. Her paranoid father thinks they've escaped the magic, and that as long as they never leave the woods, they'll be safe.So Lexi never tells him about her friend Gil, who turns up sometimes in a birch copse that travels with him, and who is definitely not human. She especially doesn't mention the magic he taught her, which can open a path to wherever she needs to go. After all, she's been in the woods for most of her life: she can find her way without magic.
But when pop star TJ Furey hires them to help him hunt down a bear, Lexi's secret is threatened. The bear he wants to kill is under Gil's protection, and if Lexi doesn't prevent its death, she'll never see Gil again. But she can't do so without risking her father's wrath – and when it turns out that TJ's manager is harboring a similar grudge of his own, Lexi feels trapped. If she wants her own life, she'll have to find a way to break all their expectations.
Leave No Trace plays the clash of worlds – magic and technology, future and past, rural and urban – against the backdrop of a bear hunt.
"The story is propulsive, engaging, and just plain old good. It's always a treat to read Randee's work!" – Zin E. Rocklyn, author of Flowers for the Sea
"Leave No Trace also mixes pop music with the fae -- but in a near future where the hidden world of the fae is vanishing, and they're being forced to move into the human world. A young woman raised in the wild has made friends with the mythical Gaelic Green Man of the woods, and he enlists her and the two musical tourists who think they've merely gone on a glamping retreat into the fight to save the fae world." – Jennifer Allis Provost, author of The Poison Garden series
"From the instant I lift the cover of a Randee Dawn novel, I know I'm in expert hands. The opening lines of Leave No Trace deliver the compelling voice of a character we want to follow. Page by eagerly-turned page, we venture deeper into a world that extends far beyond the margins, into a story that continues to resonate when we've come to the end. Dawn is a storyteller of consummate skill, clarity, and startling vision, a revealer of beauty in unexpected places." – Frederic S. Durbin, author of A Green and Ancient Light and The Country Under Heaven
