THE FAIRY

“A story filled with magic and spirituality. It is likely to follow Alexandra Ardonetto’s and Cassandra Clare’s steps”  – Época Magazine

Some young people get expensive presents, airline tickets, or surprise parties for their eighteenth birthdays. Melanie Aine got her father’s death, a strange tattoo, and the finding that she was not a human being.

As if that was not enough, Melanie also discovered a fantastic world behind the foggy and mysterious city of London. A world which she could even ignore, only if she had not realized she was an important piece of it. It is a legacy of tragedies and personal issues to which she does not expect to adapt, but yet, she doesn’t know whether she will have an option.

The only thing which might be rewarding is her encounter with a mysterious man from a powerful witch family. Their relationship goes in a rickety and tenuous line, which separates love from fury. It is an affection likely to take her to the transcendent and eternal life. A fury likely to lead her to death and oblivion.

Among many spells, fights, magical creatures, and supernatural events, “The Fairy” is a story of discovery and overcoming. It is about how love can make many people rediscover life and the magic in it.

THE WINTER OF THE FAIRIES

“A fusion of the mysticism of Paulo Coelho with the magic of Harry Potter” – O Globo Journal

Some people are destined to be normal. Simple men and women who live and die without fanfare. Without leaving any significant mark on humanity. But this is not a story about normal people.

This is a story about those who are destined for greatness. Those who have extraordinary gifts. Who possess the kind of sparkle that continues to shine through generations. Singers with the voices of angels, painters with the hands of gods, and writers who will live in infamy. But most of all, this is a story about the mythical being who inspires them all.

Meet eighteen-year-old Sophia Coldheart. She has a beauty that surpasses all. A magnetism that cannot be fought. An ability to inspire that can change lives. Sophia is a Leanan Sídhe, also commonly referred to as a “fairy lover,” a “fairy mistress,” or a “vampire fairy,” due to her ability to drain her devotees of all their energy.

Originating in Celtic folklore, the Leanan Sídhe are a rare form of a fairy who inhabit Fairyland. They offer inspiration to artists in exchange for their love and devotion. They have the ability to create bestselling authors, award-winning actors, world-renowned songwriters, and even superstar athletes. However, once a Leanan Sídhe has had her fill and recharged her energy, she must move on to her next lover. But her absence can drive an artist to madness. And in most cases, to death.

Being born a Leanan Sídhe is a hauntingly beautiful curse. A curse that has tormented Sophia Coldheart from the beginning. She has held the love and obsession of several mortals. Famous celebrities who have achieved greatness only to waste away and eventually fall victim to drugs, alcohol, and suicide when Sophia is forced to leave them.

The guilt over her numerous victims is weighing heavier upon her every day. But this is not a life from which you can opt-out of. It is a birthright. And the only way to survive is to feed off the creative energy of gifted humans.

The existence of a Leanan Sídhe is also a lonely one. Sophia’s mother and father are both gone. Her grandfather, a powerful official in Fairyland, is her only confidante. She keeps everyone else at a safe distance, for the Fairy Mistress can never get too close to anyone. She can never fall in love herself. The result is death. Sophia knows this all too well from her late mother’s fatal mistake. She has promised herself that she will not fall prey to the same weakness as her mother.

But all of that changes when Sophia meets William Bass, her latest victim. William is a young writer from the English countryside, who leads a simple life, writing and helping his father run an antique bookshop.

Sophia is instantly intrigued by William. He seems to be the only human being who has ever been able to resist her charms. And even more disconcerting, he is the only mortal she has ever met who has power over her. Not the other way around, as she has grown accustomed to.

Despite her better judgment, and a lifetime of instincts as a fleeting seductress, Sophia finds herself drawn to him. This attraction will surely end in death for them both.

When Sophia breaks all the rules and reveals who she really is to William, he is faced with a disturbing truth: if he continues to love her, he will live an extraordinary and meteoric life, only to die a tragic death. But if, on the other hand, he chooses to leave her, he may be able to salvage what is left of his normal existence.

But can anyone really leave a fairy lover?
