I have enjoyed the de Lint books I've read in his Nowford series and always look forward to reading his stories. His books deal with fairies and magical creatures but are not all sweetness and light. There is a darkness and menace tha make the books more interesting.
Into the Green is not a Newford story and takes places in a fictional set of islands where houseyfolk dwell uneasily with witches. Angharad is the heroine of the book. She is a witch, a tinker, and a harpist which makes her a triple threat against an evil lurking in the land that threatens the life of all witches and magical people. She has to outwit witch hunters and an assassin who is using her to attain his goals.

I haven't read very many of de Lint's standalone reads, but I really should start doing so...
