Lily Boyd always thought her grandmother was a little eccentric. She never suspected the old rhymes and children’s games the old woman taught her when she was a kid were anything but colorful tradition, and when her mother moved the family to Manchester and forbade her from returning to the Scottish Highlands, she just forgot the ancient tales. However, when she returns years later to help her grandmother after she’s been injured in an accident, the memories start to trickle back… along with the unexplainable.
Lily’s grandmother is gone. Strange creatures, dark and terrible, have invaded her home. Her savior is darker, more terrible than those who would have killed her, and he has his own agenda, his own goals. Troy’s her only lead, but can she trust him? Can she learn the rules of his game before losing everything she cares about?
Don’t give a faerie your name. Don’t thank them. And never, ever trust them…
Ron C. Nieto (urban fantasy author extraordinaire) was born not that long ago in a bustling European city. There were no castles and definitely no princes whatsoever, and she can’t recall any fairy looming over her cradle, but she was awarded a gift of sorts: a wild imagination combined with a love for words.
She always knew she wanted to be a writer: actually, she doesn’t recall ever striving to be anything else.
Well, past that amusing stage wherein she insisted on being Batman, that is.
While Ron still loves comics and superheroes, cheesecake is a better bribe these days if you’re trying to hurry up the release of her next book. Even virtual cheesecakes in her mailbox can do the trick, sometimes.
