The Lands of Elohan #1
Fairies & Fantasy
How many worlds are there? As a child, Emira Fairling is fascinated by her parents’ stories of elves, fairies, and all things magical. Though she is forbidden from entering the forest alone, she longs to find a fairy ring. When she makes her way through the woods, she discovers a strange boy from another realm. According to Prince Riordan, all is not right in the land of Rin. He gives her his most prized possession, the king’s ring, and asks her to keep it for him.
How is Emira to know she and Riordan just arranged their marriage or that they will be separated for ten years?
Once Emira is grown, the portal beckons. What she finds on the other side is a lot more than she imagined. Riordan’s been entranced by a siren, a sphinx demands an answer to a riddle, and monsters from the pit of Orcus have been unleashed by the dark lord.
The dragons once again take up riders from the elves, Aldrian, in particular, who sets her heart aflutter, but all the lands of Elohan seem destined for war. So much for romance.
Emira would do something about it, but she’s been placed under a curse. Surely, one of her suitors will come to her aid.
To set things right will require a whole new level of faith, love, and a little bit of magic…
Book 1 in the Lands of Elohan series. This Christian fantasy is an adventure of approximately 291 print pages and can be read separately from other books in the series.

About the author
Felicia Mires
32 books8 followersFelicia Mires began her writing career years ago when she became bored with what she found available in the Christian Fiction market. Hoping to entertain herself and provide inspiration to other Christians, she wrote her first novel, Diamonds are for Eden. Since that time, she has written more than 20 Christian novels (all with a bit of romance), even becoming a finalist in the ACFW Noble Theme competition. Along the way, she has judged multiple writing contests, edited scores of books for other writers, and discovered a wealth of fascinating Christian fiction.
But, God did not create man, or woman, for books alone. Thankfully, there is relationship. Felicia has been married for over 25 years to Gene Mires, from whom she gains a plethora of hilarious and creative ideas. Felicia and Gene have three incredible children. They also enjoy pastoring Young Adults at Life Church. Ahh, the drama...and unending plot ideas.

DELIGHTFUL!! Loved it! Ms. Mires has created a wonderful "other" world in the Lands of Elohan. The characters are authentic and believable, and the adventure is inviting. She is a master storyteller! It is one thing to read a story but another to be able to "see it" unfold before you. I became more and more interested in where we were going as I read. You know you're enjoying a book when you start realizing you don't want it to end!
Honestly, I didn't know if a "young adult" fairy and elf sci-fi, fantasy tale could possibly interest me too much, but with all the positive reviews for all her books, I decided to give it a try. SO GLAD I DID! I didn't want to put it down! I am so pleased to discover that this is the first in a series of tales set in Elohan. I am looking forward to reading the others! Although Fairies & Fantasy lays a foundation, a "grid" for the others that follow, it definitely stands on its own and I loved that about it, too. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this as a good read for ALL ages and can't wait to read more from this gifted author!

Loved the book and the fantasies, couldn't but it down, can't wait to start on the second one. I need to find out what happens next. I truly enjoy going along with the people on their quests. It takes me out of my hum drum world and into another full of adventure and wanderous places...thank you

Will one of Emira’s admirers save her from the spell cast upon her. The realms are faced with enormous conflict. All evil has been set loose. Fairy-tales and mystical stories had always captivated Emira, though when she discovered the porthole, she never imagined that what was beyond it would change her life forever. In this wonderful tale, Elohan, is the quintessence of the God of the Bible. He is a constant companion and guide for Emira, teaching her to trust and have faith in him. Author, Felicia Mires has laced together a beautiful story that once you start reading it, you won’t want to put it down. Filled with mystery, adventure, romance and best of all an inspiring message of belief, conviction, love, sprinkled with enchantment, ‘Fairies & Fantasy (The Lands of Elohan Book 1)’ is a must for any fantasy enthusiast. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
