Wings of Starlight

novel · First published 2025

It’s been centuries since a warm seasons’ fairy in Pixie Hollow has crossed into the Winter Woods, and while most fear the legends of monsters lurking in the winter lands, Clarion, can’t help but be intrigued by Winter’s stoic beauty. But under the watchful eyes of the current monarch and the court-ministers, Clarion has little time to dwell on daydreams while the days to her coronation dwindle away. That is until reports of a monster crossing from Winter into Spring makes its way to the palace. Clarion sees defeating this threat as an opportunity to prove that she is worthy of her new role. But instead of finding a monster at the edge of Winter, she finds Milori, a young guardian of the Winter Woods. Together, they form an unlikely bond as they race to save their lands. But as their alliance warms to something more, they will discover there is a reason a warm seasons’ fairy and a winter fairy are forbidden to be together. And the cost could be just as deadly as the monsters that prowl the Winter Woods.
