Pixies & Promises

by Angela Kern

Antigone D'Angelo is beginning to wonder if her luck is changing for the worse. After learning that her chronic pain and seizures were magical in nature, Ant went looking for answers, only to encounter disappointment and loss. Still grieving for her cecaelian friend, she's also trying to navigate the world of magic, understand fae power dynamics, decipher cryptic riddles, and discover the source of her illness, all while her budding romance gets a little thorny.

With a witch, a naiad, a pixie, and the queen of the cecaelians to consult, Antigone considers herself blessed. It's good to have powerful friends — but you know what they say about power. As Ant moves ever deeper into the world of the fae, truths come to light that may shatter her illusions about her friends, her world, and herself.
