An [[Urban Fantasy]] novel by Gael Baudino, ''[[Gossamer Axe]]'' is the story of a [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] |"young"]] woman named Chairiste ni Cummen who, through various magical means, has survived into the year 1987. In the sixth century, Chairiste and her lover, Siudb, were captured by [[The Fair Folk]], and trapped in their static, unchanging world for centuries. In the late 18th Century, Chairiste manages to escape with Ceis, the Sidh bard Orfide's best harp, but is forced to leave Siudb behind.
 
For two centuries, she has tried repeatedly to win back Siudb from the Fey, following the gate to their world as it made its way around the world, until she ended up in Denver, Colorado. Under the name Christa, she has been passing on some ([[The Masquerade|but not all]]) of her skills with the Irish harp to students, when one of them decides to pay her back by taking her to an [[Yngwie Malmsteen]] concert.
