Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Caitlyn has more imagination than friends. One day while playing in the snow an accident happens and she falls into a different world. This world has princes and castles and, above all else, a unicorn. She and the unicorn can communicate, and he tells her about this world she has entered. He introduces her to many people, including Elsie, a woman who lives in a house that looks like it's made of gingerbread. Elsie tells her that not everyone needs a prince. Caitlyn is as abruptly taken out of this world and back to her own as she was brought into it. She is miserable for a while, unable to return to her new-found world. Her friends and family don't believe her when she tells them about it, so she begins writing stories about the people and places of the magical world. She becomes well-known for her writing at school. Just about the time she thinks the imagined the whole thing, she is again thrust back into the magical world, where far more time has passed than in her own. The people who were her playmates are now grown with children of their own, while she's barely into her teen years. She takes it all with good grace, since her beloved unicorn is still there. She is torn from the happiness of the magical world yet again, and doesn't know whether or not she'll ever have the opportunity to return. Just as she's about to leave for college, she once again finds herself back in the magical world. Her beloved unicorn is dying and she must decide whether to stay forever or return to her own world, never to come back to the magical world again. Her decision becomes final as the unicorn takes his final breath. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Celestials are Faeries who live in the trees. Their homes resemble bird nests or bee hives, but are very spacious inside. They pursue the occupations of astronomy, astrology, weather forecasting, ship building, navigation and sailors in general. This story centers on Hugh, the son of Aoife. Aoife is a priestess. Her mother, Moira Holly, was high priestess, but as the story begins, she has just died. Through election by the priestesses, Aoife, who was high priestess for the Mercifuls, has now been made Chief High Priestess. Hugh is not the pious, dutiful son. He's a bit of a rogue with the ladies. In fact, his reputation has gotten so bad that his mother must intervene and threaten him that if he doesn't mend his ways, he may lose his apprenticeship. Hugh has been apprenticed to a master in the Celestials. He dreams of being an astronomer. But Hugh doesn't have enough of a gift for astronomy, and his master decides that he would be better suited to learn navigation. He goes to see Aoife in hopes she agrees. She is relieved that at least Hugh hasn't embarrassed the family, and quickly agrees that if this is what Hugh wants, she has no objection. Meanwhile, one of Hugh's friends wonders why Moira, who wasn't even 100 yet (young for a Faery), has died. This sets Hugh to wondering, and he brings his suspicions to Aoife. After some investigation, Aoife discovers that all is not as it seems in the House of the Priestesses. At the same time, Hugh discovers Moira's sister, Zoe, who was once a priestess, is now a Vampyre, and a member of Shauna Faun, the band that most of the youth of their clans are enchanted with. Hugh visits his Uncle Teilo. Teilo was once a thrall of the Vampyres, and is married to Aoife's sister, Jessica. Their son, Bran, is an acolyte druid. Through Teilo, Hugh manages to contact the Vampyres and asks for Zoe's aid in discovering who might have wished ill on his grandmother. She doesn't know much, but gives what aid she can. Hugh's apprenticeship goes well, and he becomes a journeyman navigator who is so good at his job he is much sought after by ship captains. On one trip, their ship is captured by pirates. These are no ordinary pirates, but Vampyres sent by an old enemy of Simon Mallow's (Simon is the leader of Shauna Faun.) Hugh is captured and offered for ransom in exchange for Zoe or Flynn, two of the other members of Shauna Faun. Meanwhile, Aoife discovers that Moira was killed, and who killed her. These priestesses are put on trial, and their ringleader is condemned to death. Before she leaves the court, she accuses Aoife and Moira with conspiring with Vampyres, and the druid, Dandriloc, who is the Chief Druid, must decide Aoife's innocence or guilt.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Price, Jeffrey L (illustratore). Paperback. Simon Mallow is the head of a coven of Vampyres known as Shauna Faun. In addition to their undead ways, they are all musicians and work throughout the Faery kingdom as a band. They don't just perform for other Vampyres, but for the light Faery as well. Most of the light Faery - other than the druids and priestesses - are unaware that the popular band is composed of Vampyres. This is because the Vampyres have all agreed to feed only on Humans. Being far smaller than Humans, these Vampyres could never kill a human by feeding on them. But how and why did the Vampyres of Shauna Faun come to this agreement? Who is Simon Mallow, and how did he become a Vampyre and the head of one of the most respected Covens in the Isles? This is Simon's story. It begins just as he, a regular young light Faery, is finishing his schooling and prepares to begin his apprenticeship as a musician. One of Simon's friends, Lisbet, is the daughter of the chief druid. The druid has plans for his daughter to become a priestess. He doesn't believe Simon when he says that he and Lisbet are simply friends, and that he has no romantic designs on the girl. After a series of unfortunate incidents occur, the druid begins to believe that Simon is responsible. When Lisbet dies of a rare plague that is decimating the Faery population, the druid loses his mind, believing Simon is responsible for all of it. Just as the druid is about to end Simon's life in a slow and painful way, the boy is rescued by a stranger, whom he later discovers is a Vampyre. This autobiography of a dark Faery shows us the trials and tribulations not only of the Faery kingdom, but also of being a Vampyre there. And we learn that not all Vampyres are evil.
