Faeries' Promise series.
Illustrated by
Sandara Tang.
Alida's faerie colony adjusts to living in hiding in the meadow while making preparations for the upcoming winter using both old and new magic. The faeries and their human neighbors take one step closer to living in harmony, and Alida's path becomes unexpectedly entwined with Ellen, daughter of the evil Lord Dunraven. The stakes are thus gently raised in this unassuming, entertaining series.
