Fantasy Life by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
I truly enjoyed this novel. The basis of the novel is that mythical/fantasy creatures have always existed-hence the legends about them. However, as time has passed they have become an endangered species-thier homes being destroyed by damage to the environment-in some cases genocide of mythical races by prejudiced and supersitious humans.
In the 1800's a witch-Buckingham- sees this happening in Seavy County, Oregon. She decides to form a pact with local mythical creatures to set up a "reservation" of sorts for magical water-dwelling beings that can survive in a protected bay of the coast of Oregon. Her daughters, grand-daughters, great-grand-daughters, etc. will provide protection to the creatures as promised by the original Buckigham Witch. A couple hundred years later Seavy County, Oregon is a pretty amazing place to live-especially in Anchor Bay.
Anchor Bay is a small tourist town-the local residents are content to scrape out a living off of tourists during the tourist season and content to trade a more reliable income for the hectic hustle and bustle of city life. The town is well aware of the mythical sea creatures who exist in thier ocean. No one openly discusses it or draws attention it-never in front of reporters or tourists. The creatures are offered protection by the Buckinghams and the towns people respect that. Athena-matriarch with the gift of incredible strength both physically and mentally, her daughter Cassandra-Cassie-an extraordinarily gifted psychic, her daughter Lyssandra-Lyssa-a moderately talented Charmer and her daughter, 10 yr old Emily- who seems to have all of the family gifts as well as work as beacon for all of thier gifts to combine and enhance each others.
Lyssa escaped Seavy County, Oregon directly after high school. She was tired of being a "Buckingham" she wanted to go somewhere where people would laugh at the idea of selkies and mermaids. She did, she eventually married and had a daughter-Emily. The book starts with Emily at the age of 10 and the dissolution of Lyssa's marriage. Her husband has gone insane and is convinced that thier daughter Emily is possesed by Demons. A horrible tragedy sends Lyssa and Emily back to Seavy County, Oregon and the safety of the Buckingham matriarchs. But all is not well in Seavy County, not for the Buckinghams and certainly not for the magical creatures they protect-who after hundreds of years are turning up dead in the open for the first time.
