War for the Oaks is an important fantasy novel by Emma Bull. This early work of urban fantasy helped kick off the subgenre of rock'n'roll faery stories.

The novel tells the story of Eddi, a rock musician struggling to keep her band together. The strangely attractive man who comes to an audition turns out to be a "pooka," an elven changeling who brings Eddi into contact (and conflict) with the Faery Court.
