Christmas in Faerie? I’ve lost track of time since I’ve been trapped on the other side of the veil. It’s okay, though—now that Rys has accepted that I’m his mate (even if I can’t be his ffrindau), I’m happier than I’ve been in a long, long time. I’m free, Lord Veron has finally given up on me, and while the Seelie and Unseelie Court are still working toward peace, humans are under Oberon’s protection. I have nothing to worry about. So what if my homesickness comes in waves? It sucks that I can’t ever go back to the human world, but I have Rys. My scarred Seelie is as devoted as he is dangerous, and more generous than any other fae I ever met. Which is why I shouldn’t have been surprised when Rys finds a way to bring a little of my old life—and my love of Christmas—to Faerie. I am, though. It’s okay. Turns out I have a bit of a surprise for him, too. **Gifted is a holiday short (14,000 words) set a few months after Freed. Featuring Elle and Rys, the mated couple celebrate their first Christmas together—and a surprise or two!
