In this quirky tongue in cheek science fiction novel observers from outer space were left behind to monitor our planet tens of thousands of years ago. They live in hiding, watching and waiting for humans to develop. They have been called leprechauns, fairies, elves, or one of hundreds of other names. And humans have never been the smartest creatures on the planet.

But the secret is beginning to fray. Suzanne, a primatologist at the Philadelphia Zoo, has published a book proposing that many creatures of legend are based on sightings of a real species of secretive intelligent primates. Denzel and Madonna, the Earth nicknames of a pair of adolescent leps longing to be part of Earth society, are beginning to bend the rules and restrictions that govern their lives. Two intelligent species on Earth are about to meet.
