Elaine Santos

Elaine Santos creates fantasy shaped by clan politics, inherited stories, nature, and characters discovering abilities that connect them to a concealed past. The Children of Allura opens the Green Valleys series during a council called to address dwindling winter provisions. Political uncertainty deepens after the Magistrate’s son is attacked, leaving rival clan leaders to consider who should hold power. His daughter Aura carries a further secret: she possesses sight that reveals warnings from the dead and draws her toward Allura, a forgotten founder betrayed by those she saved. Goodreads identifies the book as Green Valleys number one and describes Santos as a teacher who writes fantasy. Fishpond independently lists the exact author-title pairing with ISBN 9781739020804. The Children of Allura therefore establishes both the landscape and the historical wound behind the continuing series. Santos combines court intrigue with spiritual and legendary elements, allowing Aura’s investigation of the past to challenge the stories on which the Five Clans base their present authority.
