About the Book:

Welcome to the land of Faerie... where the magic of the faery folk comes to life through the skillful storytelling ability of four talented authors. This enchanting anthology weaves the tales together in one delicious collection sure to make you believe! In Jo Beverley's tale The Lord of Elphindale, Kerrigwen, the Lady of Faerie, thinks the mortals are betraying their ties with the faeries by cutting down the trees of Elphindale. She concocts a plan to mix the blood of the Elphinson family with that of a faery child. This will strengthen the bond between human and faery and bind them to the land just as the faeries are bound. What transpires between the human Elphindale heir and the faery girl created to be his bride is a bond of another sort. The Faery Braid by Karen Harbaugh is a delightful twist on the old Rapunzel tale. The faery Aldara took poor Rowan from her mortal family. The birth of a faery child is so rare, Aldara intends to make Rowan into a faery so that she may mate with a faery male and produce faery children. But Rowan has other plans when she meets a blind man who shows her the true meaning of love. Can the bad boy of Faerie repent for his wicked ways? In a variation on Irish faery lore, Barbara Samuel's story The Love Talker is about a charming and handsome faery who desires only mortal women. Galen's talent for seduction leaves his victims pining for him until they die. The Faerie Queen punishes him for his rakish behavior- cursed to a life of eternal loneliness. That is, until he shows the proper remorse for his crimes. Mary Jo Putney proves the old adage be careful what you wish for in her tale Dangerous Gifts. With his own interests in mind, Ranulph of the Wood promises mortal Leah Marlowe beauty beyond words for a price yet to be named. The young girl, insecure and longing for love, is so captivated by Ranulph's offer that she pays little heed to what the consequences may be for making a deal with a faery. But a faery from the land of India has her own plans for Ranulph.Four of romance's most gifted authors are brought together under one cover... and the result is pure magic! Weaving faery stories from lore and legend, this talented group of women has created a must-read anthology! Readers will be charmed! At last... faery tales for adults! You will believe in magic!
