Book Cover & Preview Text
Intent on watching the beautiful creatures before her, Bella took another step forward in the grass and unintentionally broke a stick under her foot. There was a sharp CRACK as it snapped, the sound echoing like thunder around the meadow. The fairy song instantly ceased, replaced with the high-pitched screams of fear from the crowd of fairies on the ground. One fairy, a beautiful woman with long, golden hair, deep green eyes, wearing a stunning dress of glittering green that made her eyes glow even more, stepped forward out of the circle of fairies. As she did, she seemed to grow taller and taller and TALLER until she loomed over Bella, the size of an adult, seizing Bella’s wrist. “Human child!” She said, in a voice musical and terrible at the same time. “You have witnessed our dance and heard our song without permission! Leave now or . . .” she frowned, looking at her hand gripping Bella’s wrist. Bella looked too. To her astonishment, it seemed as if her skin was lit from within. That portion of her arm looked just like the woman standing in front of her; it exuded a warm glow. The fairy released her, and the light immediately faded. The fairies in the meadow were still in a panic. Turning away from Bella, the full-sized fairy raised her arm in an imperious fashion. “Silence!” The noise immediately ceased. “The human child is not an ordinary trespasser; I will deal with her as I see fit.” Turning again, she faced Bella, reaching her hand up to gently trail her finger down Bella’s cheek, stepping back in surprise when Bella’s skin became luminous wherever the fairy touched. “Can it be?” she asked—“Who . . . who are your parents?” Bella could barely speak.
