Fae Destiny

All her life, Eala Duir, a young college professor, has skirted the edges of a fantasy world. Visions of folk stories coming alive in hearth flames and vivid daydreams where carousel horses ride off to battle, drove Eala to pursue an academic life specializing in tales of the Fae. When a cryptic message in her grandmother's will sends her to Ireland, Eala clashes with Sionnach Loho, an attractive, enigmatic local expert on folklore. After witnessing Eala's encounter with a ghost girl at an allegedly haunted castle, Sionnach reveals his own ties to the Fae realm. He insists Eala's ability to connect with the supernatural proves she's been sent to partner with him and fulfill a centuries-old otherworldly quest ordained by the mighty Finnbheara, King of the Connacht Fae. As folktales and faeries collide with Eala's reality, she must decide whether to embrace the fantastic or flee back to the safe and predictable life she thought she always wanted.

Being tied to the Fae is no guarantee the folk will open their gates to welcome you in. Believing they've earned a place in the Faerie kingdom of Tír na nÓg, Eala, a folklore academic, and her time traveler soulmate, Sionnach, are about to face the harsh reality that mischief and misdirection lurk at the very core of Fae bargains. When Finnbheara, King of the Connacht Fae, confronts the pair on the threshold of his domain, he declares only Eala, by virtue of her Faerie origins, is welcome into his land of eternal youth. Desperate not to be separated from Sionnach, she agrees to a bargain with the wily king to grant the lovers a future together in the Fae realm. The only help offered in solving the royal challenge is from the sexy yet duplicitous Faerie, Robber Bright, arrogant commander of the Host of a Thousand Wings . . . which might be worse than no help at all. Now, with a looming lunar deadline and dark forces at work against them, Eala and Sionnach must time travel through the magical Veil, taking part in Irish history and folk tales to unravel the truths hidden in Finnbheara's enigmatic challenge.
