Faerie has secrets…

A broken-hearted queen unleashes her grief upon an entire realm.

A Dark King schemes in the shadows.

Ancient rivalries threaten to tear Faerie apart.

And throughout the ages, mortals and fae become entangled in stories of love, loss, curses, magic, and destiny.

Discovered in a dragon’s hidden library by a curious half-fae, these sixteen interconnected tales reveal the myths, legends, and forgotten histories of Faerie itself.

From tragic romances and enchanted creatures to powerful rulers and dangerous bargains, every story uncovers another piece of a world where nothing is ever quite what it seems.

Enter Faerie. Discover its secrets.

For readers who love Celtic folklore, fairy tales, and immersive faerie mythology.
