The Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie Pope

In 1558, while exiled by Queen Mary Tudor to a remote castle known as Perilous Gard, young Kate Sutton becomes involved in a series of mysterious events that lead her to an underground world peopled by Fairy Folk—whose customs are even older than the Druids’ and include human sacrifice.

Stichley's Rating:
I had a younger cousin loan me this book and even though I wasn't sure at first that it would be something I would like I decided to give it a try.  This book combines history with an element of fantasy that is not only believable but could be possible.  The Fairy Folk aren't some mystical creatures that we have never seen but made into a believable possibility.
