A uniquely original fairy tale retelling. A combination of Beauty and the Beast, Tamlin, and The King Who Would Have a Beautiful Wife.
Beasts come in many forms, some of them exceedingly beautiful. Some of them powerful and exceptionally dangerousโฆ
Rescued from the Fairy Queen by the Seelie King, Maisie is thrown into the High Court of the Mortal Realm at the feet of the High King, Kylan. Although she is his selectress, and rightful fiancรฉe, itโs immediately clear that she has interrupted his plans for himself and the kingdom. And he is not amusedโฆ
Maisieโs beauty and light powers tempt Kylan. But her presence threatens to destroy a powerful alliance Kylan is on the verge of making. As much as he needs her power now that Rylan is missing, as much as he wants herโฆ
Maisie is in danger and in desperate need of allies. There are forces in the kingdom that will never accept a queen from The Outlands. The Fairy Queen still wants her dead. Darkness lurks in every corner. Maisieโs light magic is muted in the Mortal Realm. Rylan is turning into a beast at the hands of the Fairy Queen. And the treacherous betrothal ring is whispering darknessโฆ
Fairy tale addict. Lover of fantasy, romance, adventure, and magical moments.ย
Favorite fairy tale? I canโt pickย justย one. Thatโs why Iย loveย mashups and retellings.ย
The Beauty and The Fae Courts of Light and Dark Seriesย is the combination of an Italian fairy tale from Naples that my grandma used to tell me,ย The King Who Would Have a Beautiful Wife,ย andย Tamlin, a Scottish fairy tale I particularly love. Both are about love. But also about the deeper things of the human psyche and experience.
Iโve chosen to release this epic-length tale in smaller, more digestible chunks than the usual fantasy novel. With cliffhangers. If thatโs your thing,ย excellent. If not, then hang on until the storyโs finished and read it all at once.ย
I write books that take me away to another world. That are imbued with a sense of magic and light. If that sounds good to you, join me! And donโt miss a new release. Sign up for my newsletter atย www.srjaye.com.ย
