ABOUT THE

Long ago, to win a war, humans Cursed the Aelfae, fairest and wisest of the faeries… But all magic has a price. The same Curse that destroyed the Aelfae now threatens all of Faearth. One young woman and the warrior she loves must fight the Curse to prove which is stronger…love or death.

DINDI desperate longs to become a Tavaedi, a magic dancer. But no one in her clan has ever passed the Test at Initiation. To violate the taboo, and dance without permission, is to risk death. The only other way to prove worthy is even more to bargain with the fae.

KAVIO is the half-human son of the Last Aelfae, exited from his tribe. Refusing to be a pawn in his tribe’s struggles, his only goal is to find a new, peaceful life. But when he catches Dindi violating a taboo, he must choose between condemning her to death or helping her. Even if it means war.

About the author

Tara Maya has lived in Africa, Europe and Asia. She's pounded sorghum with mortar and pestle in a little clay village where the jungle meets the desert, meditated in a Buddhist monastery in the Himalayas and sailed the Volga river to a secret city that was once the heart of the Soviet space program. This first-hand experience, as well as research into the strange and piquant histories of lost civilizations, inspires her writing. Her terrible housekeeping, however, is entirely the fault of pixies.
