What to expect
What happens when you give in to your enemy?
Or when an act of mercy turns into betrayal?
The war between the Court of Dark and Light waged for far too long. But at long last, each side has set their elemental magick and weapons down, and the Treaty of Bodhicitta is signed.
The rules are clear. Never again will the Fae spill their own blood, and human worship must be equal to both courts.
But while Queen Aurora and King Jarvok were playing their war games, the outside world has moved on from polytheism to monotheism. Now, the humans understand worship, equals power and wealth.
Queen Mary the First of England is on the throne and will go to any length to conceive a child—even one not entirely of her world. But as the pregnancy progresses, the reigning monarch questions if she’s instead made a deal with the devil.
Meanwhile, behind the Veil, Queen Aurora and King Jarvok are discovering in the new world order, the power dynamic has shifted and old resentments still linger. A single act could shatter their peace and start the war anew…
Birth of the Fae: Thine Eyes of Mercy is an epic fantasy adventure continuing the Fae origin story. Set in a beautifully fantastical world and weaving the decadent setting of Tudor England, it is a place where the fight between good versus evil tests the lines between what is right and wrong.
