​

Between the bear and the fox only one is meant to survive, but Ro and her sister are determined to break the curse before tragedy strikes, and their fight forever alters their ties to the western wood and to each other.

“Malachite?”
“A rogue dwarf planet,” he explains,
breathy with awe.
I’m still clicking myself deeper into this wormhole,
tabs metastasizing across my browser bar,
saying Malachite can heal,
Malachite can kill,
Malachite will miss,
Malachite will hit,
and I don’t know which mutually exclusive truth to believe.

In 1893, the Scottish writer and mystic William Sharp (1855 – 1905) started to write under the name of "Fiona McLeod." The name "Fiona" did not exist before then—at least, not in our world. Fiona, after all, was a Faery being.

​

For the following twelve years, Fiona wrote profusely of her own tradition, sharing Faery mythology, tradition, and lore with the Victorian public. None of these myths, legends, gods, or goddesses were known to humans prior to Fiona's revelations. There is much to discover in how these mighty beings of ancient times were literally shrunken to become the Tinkerbells of popular imagery.
