Holiday havoc.

Nothing ever seems to go according to plan when the Iarion and Barlo travel at this time of year...

No matter how hard the elf and dwarf try, they always end up on the business end of a mystery that only they can solve.

Join the unlikely pair of friends on a trio of holiday misadventures in this collection from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series by the author of the Fatal Empire series, Jacquelyn Smith. This collection includes three connected shorts that take place between the prologue and first chapter of the World of Lasniniar novel Storm Rider:

A Solstice Tale
Father Solstice
A Solstice Feast

A Solstice Tale (Short Story)

Solstice Eve. An unexpected side trip. Barlo and Iarion find themselves looking for a room in the human city of Nal Huraseadro to take shelter from the snow.

During their journey, Barlo only seeks the answer to one question. What did his elf friend get him for Solstice? His endless guesses border on harassment. Iarion refuses to budge.

Despite the approaching holiday, not all remains peaceful in the city.

...And Iarion’s present soon becomes the furthest thing from Barlo’s mind.

A stand-alone story from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series. If you love a lighthearted holiday misadventure, grab this book. (Previously published as “Legends of Lasniniar: A Solstice Tale.”)

Father Solstice (Short Novel)

A Solstice tradition in the making. Barlo and Iarion return to the human city of Nal Huraseadro for the holiday.

This time, Barlo’s nagging guesses about his Solstice gift must wait. Both he and his elf friend plan to find something under ten silvers within the city itself as a challenge.

They arrive to find things changed since their last visit. But some things stay the same. Nothing can stop the pair of friends from finding trouble.

...Even on Solstice Eve.

A fun, holiday short novel from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series and a follow-up to “A Solstice Tale.” (Previously published as Legends of Lasniniar: Father Solstice.)

A Solstice Feast (Short Story)

A Solstice tradition continues… Once again, Barlo and Iarion travel toward the human city of Nal Huraseadro on their way to Dwarfhaven.

The dwarf and elf make an effort to spend the holiday in the city every time Barlo’s rounds to the other dwarven outposts bring them to the area. The trips consist mainly of banter and misadventure. The perfect way to spend Solstice.

Only this time, their journey takes them on an unexpected detour.

A fun holiday story from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series and a follow-up to Father Solstice. (Previously published as “Legends of Lasniniar: A Solstice Feast.”)

О аутору

Jacquelyn Smith writes both epic and intrigue-based fantasy, and mysteries that range from cozy to kick-ass, with independent, strong-willed heroes, in search of their place in the world. These heroes take the problems they face seriously (but never themselves), and are supported by unlikely friendships they forge along the way. Jacquelyn is the author of the World of Lasniniar epic fantasy series, the Fatal Empire fantasy intrigue series, the kick-ass Kira Brightwell mysteries, and the Mackenzie Quinn Canadian cozy mysteries. (She originally published several of the early Kira Brightwell titles under the pen name Kat Irwin, before killing Kat off to eliminate the many awkward questions about having a second identity.) When spending time in the real world, Jacquelyn lives on the suburban outskirts of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with her husband, Mark, and their feline owner, Xena, who is definitely a warrior princess.
