By New York Times and USA Today Bestselling, RITA® Award winning author, Maggie Shayne.
Originally titled Fairytale.
A little boy’s haven… As a child Adam found respite from his father’s cruelty in the woods around their home. During one of his forest adventures, he crawled through a tunnel and emerged into another world, a magical world, where a beautiful fairy child splashes in an enchanted pool. It was just imagination… Or so Adam tells himself as an adult. Until he finds a painting of that same crystal-strewn glade, that same glistening pool, the same mysterious girl splashing in its waters. That painting becomes his most cherished possession.
Brigit thinks she knows who she is…
A fire razed the orphanage where she lived. But a homeless man saved her, and he saved the book that had been left on its doorstep with her.
She and Raze have been family to each other ever since.
Brigit can paint anything she sees precisely, and she uses her gift to get her and Raze off the streets when he gets too old and too sick to survive that way anymore.
The wrong people find out about her ability, though, and Raze is kidnapped. To get him back, Brigit must get close enough to Adam to copy his painting, switch them, and deliver the original to the kidnapper.
But it’s not just a painting…
It’s the key to Brigit’s secret past, her connection to the enchanted land Adam discovered as a boy, and a message from a twin sister she never knew she had pointing the way to her destiny.
Fans of films like The Huntsman will devour this series.
What people are saying…
“Maggie Shayne delivers romance with sweeping intensity and bewitching passion.” #1 New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “ This was a great work of fairy fiction! The author paints intricate portraits of both the fairy and mortal worlds. The love story was finely drawn, believable, and the romantic scenes were just that...romantic. If you are looking for edge-of-your-seat action, or erotic sex scenes, this isn't the book for you. But if you are looking for a first rate novel about the fairy world, you have found it! Cudos, Ms. Shayne! This one goes on my … 'keeper' shelf. Very highly recommended!” ~ Reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “ Don't mistake this book for one you can pick up for a chapter and put down for a day or two. It will suck you into this beautiful world Shayne creates. Trust me, you won't regret it.” ~Reviewer

Look Inside Ch. 1
Look Inside Ch. 1
Seven-year-old Adam Reid raced through the forest, zigging and zagging like a mad bumblebee, his arms spread out at his sides. The summer breeze turned into a wind that whooshed past his ears and tangled his hair. He pretended he was flying. He liked pretending. Even though his father was always telling him how bad it was, how foolish. He got the strap for it sometimes, when his tall tales got a little too tall.
But only if his father had been drinking.
He buzzed around the base of a giant maple tree three times, then came to a halt when his keen eyes picked out a barely visible path beneath its broad, leafy limbs. No longer interested in playing bumblebee, Adam lowered his arms. He hunkered down and squinted at the almost invisible trail in the mossy ground. No matter how many times he came out here, he never failed to find a new adventure to pursue.
Adam loved the woods. He wasn’t supposed to be there. The forest was not on his father’s property, but on the state land that bordered it. And he’d been warned repeatedly to stay away. But that hadn’t stopped Adam.
Now he began following that trail, wondering what it might be. Deer trail, he decided, his seven years of wisdom assuring him it was so. Maybe he’d see a big whitetail if he went really slow and quiet.
The path meandered for a ways, wriggling this way and that in S-patterns and loops and figure eights. Then it vanished into a patch of mean-looking blackberry briars with deceptively pretty white blossoms that smelled so good he wished he could taste them. But when he squatted on his haunches, he saw that the thorny, flowering briars sort of arched over the trail. If he bent really low, he could still follow it. So he did.
