Kooriime (Koh-Oh-Ree-May)

There is life after death—and a lover for every soul.

Kooriime—pronounced koh-oh-ree-may—is a hidden island paradise tucked away from the rest of the world; it serves as a home to a race of Elves. When seven Elves are stolen from their homes and taken to New York City, they are set adrift in a world they don’t know. Burdened by the grief of being separated from their home and loved ones, the seven do all they can to survive this strange new existence. Can they find their way home again? Can they find happiness in their new home?

In this dark, urban romance, the Elves and their new human neighbors do their best to build new lives. The Elves must now learn to cope with very human problems, such as prejudice and the complications of relationships. Despite their best efforts to fit in, they introduce an otherworldly, supernatural quality to every experience.
