Buried within her is an ancient power that could change the fates of the Fae forever. Discouraged artist, Frances Blackburn, has always been able to see fairies. They have been her friends, confidantes, and, most importantly, her creative inspiration. Frances has never doubted that drawing and painting the fae is her life’s calling until she receives a scolding and humiliating review of her gallery show. Distraught and full of self-doubt, Frances decides that it’s time to trade her paintbrushes and easels for a computer and safer graphic designing. However, her choice quickly leads her down an unexpected and dangerous path. All around her, the faery folk that have lived alongside her begin to disappear from the mortal world, and a mysterious stranger tells Frances that it is all her fault. Will Frances be able to uncover the truth of the Fae’s disappearance? Or will her journey end up leading her into unforeseen and unexpected dangers?

Most enjoyable

I loved this book. Read in one go on a wet Sunday afternoon, during the lockdown. It took me right away from the constant lowgrade anxiety of these strange days. A pleasant cosy tale but with some twists and turns and I definitely felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise at one point. Definite recommendation.

I loved the pace of this magical story. It was the perfect story to lose myself in for a bit during a stressful time. Can't wait to read the next book!

I love this world Mel has created. Magical connections are subtly woven together until you are caught in the intricacies of the story without realising how deep you had gone. The language and world that Mel creates is linguistically stunning as well and you are left spellbound in the necessity to read the next book and find out what happens next.

Beautifully written! The characters come alive, and the plot is intriguing. I can't wait to read the next two books.
