Book Overview
For nearly a century and a half, Carolyn has protected the mystical creatures who live in her family estate in Dancing Valley. She is a guardian of the fae. When Anita arrives, lost and exhausted, Carolyn knows the young woman didn’t find her cottage by accident.
Abandoned by her mother, when she was hours old, Anita’... s only clue to her history is an emerald pendant tucked into the pocket of the shirt she’d been wrapped in. After the unexpected death of her adoptive parents, Anita heads to the wilderness. During a week of hiking unmarked trails, she becomes lost and roams for days until she sees a fairy, a tiny creature she'd been assured since childhood, was only in her imagination. Still, Anita follows the enchanting creature. The fairy leads her to Carolyn, who wears a sapphire pendant, a companion to the emerald Anita wears.
With Carolyn's help, Anita discovers the little people she's seen and heard for her entire life are real, and that she has abilities she'd never realized. When Dancing Valley is threatened, Anita stands beside Carolyn, risking her life to fight for her new home and the mystical family she’s become a part of.read more
BIOGRAPHY Written in a variety of genres, Black’s character driven stories rarely turn out quite the way the reader would expect. The author combines imagination and experience to weave dramatic plots with believable characters in descriptive settings, whether contemporary or supernatural.
Her fascination with the pa... ranormal is often seen in her prose. Even when it isn’t the basis of the plot, it is not unusual to find a touch of the supernatural in the storyline. Occasionally, however, the reference is so subtle, the reader could miss it. The author also includes a four-legged character in most of her books, even if it’s just a cameo appearance.
Black lives in the United States with her husband, and two alien creatures disguised as cats. While each of the furry critters is unique, one of them is rumored to be ET’s second cousin. The rumor, however, has not been confirmed.read more
