There to assist is serving maid Kako–mistress of many secrets, and perhaps the only person who can free Rafiq from his bondage.

Ratings and reviews

i really liked the story, but ***SPOILERS*** the fact she winds up with the guardian who had been teaching her since she was 7 feels a lot like grooming, and i don't like the taste it left in my mouth. Decent read, but would not recommend, and will not re read.

This was a highly enjoyable read. Each of the three novels within (plus the two short stories at the end) tied together so beautifully. The author obviously took great time and care into weaving everything together into a tapestry filled with Fae magic, witty dialogue, intriguing characters, and (probably what I enjoyed most), the bonds between them.

Great story. Family friendly. Can't wait for the next series.

About the author

 W.R. Gingell is a Tasmanian author who lives in a house with a green door. She loves to rewrite fairytales with a twist or two--and a murder or three--and original fantasy where dragons, enchantresses, and other magical creatures abound. Occasionally she will also dip her toes into the waters of SciFi.

W.R. spends her time reading, drinking an inordinate amount of tea, and slouching in front of the fire to write. Like Peter Pan, she never really grew up, and is still occasionally to be found climbing trees.
