Sidhe: A Fairytale
"After fifteen minutes nobody looks at a rainbow" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Aedan, son of Ignatius of the Connemara Circle is the first of his kind. But everyone else in his home village only sees a half-breed, and a threat to their comfortable old ways. If low Sidhe can mate with and produce offspring with humans then what will become of their lineage? The leprechaun and banshee population is already on the decline, and Aedan's lack of banshee blood means something new for both their species.
Aedan however, just wants to be allowed to live his own life, and learn about his mother's human heritage. Abandoned by his maternal grandmother after his mother died giving birth to him, Aedan has never known a life outside of the Sidhe's Circle.
His journey will bring him out of his magical home as a young man and into the human world, where he will learn how differently everything works in a place where time moves much faster than he's used to, and how passionate and alive the world truly is. Heartbreak, loss of family, friendship, arranged marriage, and true love meet to create a modern fairytale for the masses. A story of love and acceptance in places you least expect to find it.
