Dear Author, I was curious when I felt the summons across the Ways between the human world and faerie realm. When the pathway opened, I followed the stone walkway through to his world, disregarding the rules that had been taught to me from childhood. I knew I was supposed to let one of the Court advisors know, but the magic called to me. The priest who summoned me ran when I appeared; I don’t think he expected his ritual to work. I followed the scent of his magic until I bounced off his wards. His home is protected against all spirits, including me, keeping me away from the warmth of his hearth. He leaves each morning and returns in the late afternoon, often staring into the woods where he must feel my presence. I’m stuck here, sitting on a branch, counting the hours until he comes home again and praying that today is the day he’ll offer an invitation of hospitality after demanding my presence. Until he dismisses the call, I am bound to him. His voice though—I’ve heard it before in my dreams. I think I’ve always been bound to him.

#2 in the Fairy Compacts series. Before Tammas and Aeron have time to adjust to their new situation, Kamala brings trouble to their door. Firez, her nephew and Tam's old school-friend—and very nearly more—has lost his sister to fairy kidnapping. He can't get her back without fae help. Aeron agrees to help find her, but only if Firez will make a compact: if they manage to save his sister from life as an unwilling fairy thrall, he must give them something they want. So begins a clever, dangerous charade calculated to trick some of the highest, most devious nobles of the Faerie Court. But if Tam doesn't get out of Faerie intact, a compact won't do him, or Aeron, much good at all. Fairy Thrall contains internal illustrations by Ruxandra Lache.

The 3rd and final installment in the Fairy Compacts series. At last, Tammas has his fondest wish—a teaching position in the monastery-school—and he and Aeron have settled into a comfortable life. But their adventures in Faerie come back to haunt them when the girl they rescued from thralldom begins stirring up trouble in town. They're already questioning whether they can truly belong to each other forever. Under the rising threat of discovery or worse, Aeron and Tam wonder if they might lose the home they love so much, too. With everything slipping away, hard choices must be made... before the world makes the choices for them. Fairy Bound contains illustrations by Ruxandra Lache.
