Three immortal queens. A dying magic. A world to save . . .
The FAIRY QUEENS SAGA is far more than a simple fairytale retelling. It's a deep dive into the mythology surrounding Hans Christian Andersen's THE SNOW QUEEN. An origin story, the Fairy Queens Saga tells the stories of the Winter Queen (Ilyenna), her rival (Nelay), and Ilyenna's daughter (Elice).
Reading order:
1. Of Ice and Snow (Ilyenna's parents)
2. Winter Queen (Ilyenna's story)
3. Of Fire and Ash (prequel novella for Nelay's story)
4. Summer Queen (Nelay's story)
5. Of Sand and Storm (spin off novel)
6. Daughter of Winter (Elice and Adar, star-crossed lovers desperate to escape the Winter Queen)
7. Winter's Heir (Ilyenna, Nelay, Elice, and Adar all come together for the final showdown. Will they destroy each other or find a way to work together to save their dying world?)
