When a bard tells a tale about a soldier’s death, he doesn’t intend to kill his brother. But he didn’t believe those who warned him he had the ability to bring his tales to life. Grainne recognizes the power in the bard’s tale. Desperate to protect his target—her new husband, Caedmon—she makes a pact with one of the fey. Caedmon is whisked away to the realm of the fey and Grainne fears she will never see him again. But Grainne isn’t the only inhabitant of Silver Downs with a secret. Eithne has fallen in love with a fey. When the fey boy stops coming to visit her, she knows something has happened to him. The two women set off in search of their missing loved ones, only to discover that mortals aren’t exactly welcome in the realm of the fey. Captured by hostile fey, they are sentenced to serve as slaves—for one hundred years. Eithne and Grainne need to escape, find their missing loved ones, and get back to the mortal world before the fey find them again. Because they know they won’t escape a second time. Tales of Silver Downs is a series of dark fantasy novels set in pre-Roman Britain. For readers who like lush historical backdrops with a fairytale feeling, a fantasy quest and characters who fight their destiny.

- I studied Ancient Greek at university because I wanted to read Homer in his own language.
- I’m fascinated by miniatures and tiny things, and am building my own dollhouse.
- I studied to be a journalist because I thought that would provide a more reliable income than writing. I hated it because I wasn’t telling my own stories, only repeating what somebody else had already said.
- If I wasn’t a writer, I would have been a marine biologist except that I get very, very sea sick. I’m also claustrophobic under water so that was never going to work out.
- I never ever look into a mirror in a dark room.
