THE ELF THIEF
By Rich Wingerter

When a young elf thief is captured by humans they demand he stop stealing, but only love and his conscience make him want to change his ways.

SYNOPSIS:

Gyoff, a young elf with time on his hands, enjoys the thrill of stealing trivia from a nearby human village. Until a human family captures him. In return for his freedom, he has to promise to reform.

He has no intention of doing so, but when he returns to the elf world, he has to buy medicine for his sick mother. He tries to pay with a stolen coin, but the apothecary recognizes he stole it and turns him in to the authorities. They demand he return everything.

Unfortunately, everyone now knows he's a thief, including the girl he loves, Arabelle. Realizing stealing is wrong and to win her love, he commits to reform.

But, he has to overcome severe temptation to do that. Even worse, a criminal organization in the elf world wants to rope him into a life of crime.

Can he turn his life around? If he does, it will touch us all.
