Shayla, Princess of the Fay, must begin the journey to discover her true power by leaving the island. If she's successful, she will become queen. Her plight won't be an easy one, for there are those who would use Shayla as a means to solidify their own position of power. 

Kyle, Shayla's guide in the human world, is destined to bring hope to the Fay even though his own future seems bleak. With Kyle by her side, miracles can happen, offering the promise of the return of the magic. 

Once that happens, nothing is impossible.  


TEASER 

As I entered the garden, the smell of succulent roses and jasmine infused me. I continued upon an emerald and ruby path, glinting like a wine-filled goblet. Gliding over pearls and bright quartz, I headed for the waterfalls, the soft lining of moss caressing my feet. 

My heart faltered. He was human. 

Excerpt 

“What do you see now?” 

He was still in the pool of water. I was struck with a horrible idea. “I need to ask you a couple things first.” 

“Anything, sweetheart.” 

“Can you see where I am now?” 

“You are lying on a huge bed made of silver and wood.” 

It was as I feared. He could see what was around me. “You mention relaxing, right? Are you asleep, dreaming your bath, or awake?” 

“Awake. Aren’t you?” 

“No. I am asleep. We must be very careful. If my people knew you could see where I am, they would punish me and hunt you down.” 

“You keep speaking of your people. Just who and what are they?” 

“I cannot reveal that, but I am a true Princess. I would like to join you, but it is best I do not. The first time we met, what happened to you? Can you explain how you got there, and what happened after?” 

“Sure. I was walking through the woods when I saw you under a canopy of trees. You opened your arms to me, and I wanted nothing more than to touch you. The next thing I knew, we were in dark blue water that glowed. After, when I was back in the forest, my clothes were wet and lying on the ground beside me.” He paused. “What are you thinking?” 

“We are in serious trouble. I will join you in the water, but only for a moment, then I must go. I promise to try and return though. I need to know something, and the only way is when I am awake.” 

“You make a promise of seeing me again?” 

“I do not think either of us could stop, even if we wanted.” I did not want to stop. If not for his life being forfeit, I would stay with him as long as the Gods allowed. 

“Come and tell me goodbye, then.” 

I crossed over to him, letting the water soak through my gown, and did what I desired to since we’d first met. Whispering leaning over him, I caressed the sides of his face, and brushed my lips against his mouth. His lips were warmer, fuller, and more real than I ever imagined. He was made for me. Everything I ever wanted in a mate, kept inside my dreams where we could not be hurt. 

I jerked away and turned, wishing to end the dream. Awake in my room, I guessed right. My gown was soaked. What we had done affected both physical worlds. This was a gift and a curse, and there would be repercussions. I had everything I could want but was in the gravest danger of my life.

Blurb 

When Emerald La Roe ran away 300 years ago, she had not planned to return. However, after repeated dreams from Goddess Morrigan, Emerald finally realizes she has no choice. Emerald not only finds a magical sword waiting for her, but her dead husband also. It seems Stefan O’ Duff wants’ reconciliation and help to cure the curse they share. 

Emerald would rather see him dead than be with him again, she has someone else to consider though. Her new love, Maxwell Howard a werewolf, who through sharing blood with Emerald, now faces the same fate as Emerald and Stefan. For the cure to work, Emerald has to put her hatred of Stefan aside and consent to share his bed again. 

Can Emerald put 300 years of anger aside to save them or will she sacrifice all their futures and kill him as she swore to do?

Excerpt 


Conroy was waiting to escort us into the dining room. Violet was sitting at the head of the table with two place settings one on each side of her. “Come sit. There is no reason to be shy here.” Max took the one on her left while I took the other side. “Now, let’s have a lovely dinner, then you can tell me all about yourselves. I have to confess I have never met a werewolf before.” 

We followed her lead and talked of nothing important throughout  dinner, when we were finished she led us into my father’s old study. 

“Would either of you care for an after dinner drink or some tea?”  

I knew it was a test, so I answered in my most professional voice. 

“Coffee would be lovely, thank you. Cream and sugar please.” 

She gave me a look I couldn’t read. “Very good, my dear. You will make a lovely La Roe.” 

“What do you mean a lovely La Roe, I am already one?” 

“Of course you are my dear, but being a La Roe is and means more than just a name. You must carry yourself as it now benefits your station in life. The Isle of Man is now part of Great Britain also Northern Ireland, and as such, you are now accountable to both of them. You are considered one of the last of royalty left here and must behave as such, your people need you to guide them throughout life and the courts.” 

“Courts? What are you talking about? My father was a duke, but I cannot claim the title Princess gained from my marriage, no one can know I am still alive.” 

“Your being a Princess is exactly what I am referring too.

Couldn't see the humor #MFRWhooks

Excerpt   

Before I could think of a way to explain, the knocking started up again. 

“Oh, hang on a minute.” I could hear him moving around the room, before he finally answered the door. “Yeah what’s so urgent?” He sounded upset as I heard the door open. 

“I need to change the bandages on her eyes and see how her throat looks this morning, or should I say this afternoon. She also has to drink more of this tea today, about every four hours should do.” I listened to Ruby explaining to him.  

She reminded me of an old mother hen. Normally I would have found it funny, but since I was the one on the receiving end, I just couldn’t see the humor in it. 

“Ruby wants to look at your throat and change your bandages, is it all right?” Max was saying while I felt him slip a silk robe on me. I guessed it was the one he gave me, since as far as I knew he didn’t have one, not to mention the fact it fit me perfectly. I could feel him watching me, while he waited for my answer, nodding my head yes, I heard him let out a breath I hadn’t realized he was holding. 

Hearing the door open again, I sat further up in the bed. “Well I was going to change your bandage, but it looks to me that you might want to shower first.” I put my hands up to my hair and must have made a noise because I could hear Ruby tisking me.  

“Remember no pushing it, but I have to admit that the potion is working extremely fast, or maybe it’s just you.” 

Not knowing what to do, I got up and started to make my way to the bathroom. I felt Max’s hand before he said. “Hey, I’ll help you take a shower then we can change the bandages, okay?” I nodded my head yes and stood there waiting for him. I heard him tell Ruby as the door opened again. “I’ll help her for now. You could make her something to eat though.”

"Daughter of the Gods" #MFRWhooks

 Fay's Wish by Dee Carver 

Shayla, Princess of the Fay, must begin the journey to discover her true power by leaving the island. If she's successful, she will become queen. Her plight won't be an easy one, for there are those who would use Shayla as a means to solidify their own position of power.


Kyle, Shayla's guide in the human world, is destined to bring hope to the Fay even though his own future seems bleak. With Kyle by her side, miracles can happen, offering the promise of the return of the magic.


Once that happens, nothing is impossible.


Excerpt 

This was a cleansing place, a place to refill an empty soul. Aine and I were not the only ones to be content and amazed. Kyle’s breath quickened, while Jack thanked the Goddess for nature’s perfect gift. I understood Kyle’s revelation. This was where I would receive my gift. I also understood Jack’s need to praise the Goddess, for surely her presence was still here, stronger than ever. 

Bells chimed a tender whisper on the wind. 

“Come to me, Queen Shayla. Come and receive what I have waited so long to give.” 

“We need to cross the lake now; she is waiting for me.” 

I pointed to the small, white boat at the edge of the lake. No one questioned its remarkable presence, or my request. They only did as I asked. I climbed in, and once we were seated, Kyle began rowing our way across. I hoped he would go faster, but the rigid line of his back bade me be patient. 

Instead, I faced my reflection in the water as it undulated by, contemplating death without fear, knowing that even if this boat were to overturn, a drowning would not stop me from reaching the island. Somehow, I would always make it. I would become a fish and swim. 

On the island, we made our way to the center easily enough. Silver stones and golden sands led us to the cave’s entrance. I strode to the sacred opening I knew existed behind its vines of jade and turned to the others before passing through the curtain. 

“This is as far as you all can go. I have to go the rest of the way alone.” 

I swept the ivy aside, and made my way in. Painted cranes of all sizes dotted the walls, each prepared for flight. I turned back once to gaze at the entrance, but there was only blackness. 

“Come, Queen of the Fay. I do not wish to wait any longer to give you what I have waited lifetimes to pass on.” 

Her voice became closer with each step I took. Emerging through a jewel-strewn doorway, I finally bore myself into her presence. Corra wore the appearance of a crane. Incredible, she was as white as snow, and at least ten feet of pure marble. 

“Step closer, Daughter of the Gods. Step up and claim your true power, my Child of the Brides.”
