Tiny or tall, brave or small—it is the size of our hearts that matter at all …

Legend tells that deep in the Land of Cambria, in the heart of the Magical Forest, a tiny race of enchanted beings, no bigger than a butterfly, still call the forest their home. Hidden away from the prying eyes of humans, these magical fairies keep their magic a secret from those who would use it for evil. Yet after thousands of years in hiding, the secret of the fairies is about to come out…

For young Raine, being a princess of the Magical Forest means duty before desire, and her fate to marry a fairy of her father’s choosing becomes a bit more complicated when she accidentally falls for Bryce—a human. In a desperate plea to be with the man she loves, Raine seeks the aid of Vitra, the Dragon Queen of the Dark Forest, in order to become a human and catch Bryce’s eye.

Blinded by true love and guided by destiny, Raine’s journey will jeopardize those she is sworn to protect and leave the fate of the Magical Forest to the evil forces at play. Can she save her kingdom from darkness? Or will she give up her heart’s true desire in order to realize her destiny?

A Cambria Fairy Tale

"Rise and shine!" a feminine voice said, a bit too close to Raine's ear.


Raine opened her eyes just in time to see Briana pull back the drapes at the window sharply. Raine raised a hand to shield her eyes. For a moment, she had no idea where she was, but then the events of the day before flooded back into her mind. "What have I done?" Raine said, half to herself, as she remembered Virtra and the Locks of Samson. 


"What did you say?" Briana asked matter of fact as she pulled back the drapes on the other window.


Raine just shook her head as she forced a smile. "Nothing. Nothing at all." She just hoped that it wasn't a lie.


"Well, 'tis time to get up! We need to make breakfast!" Briana said, pulling her from the bed.


"All right, all right!" Raine said, laughing. "Give me just a minute. Besides, I do not know how to cook." Raine didn't tell her this, but she had grown up in a castle with servants. There was no need to learn how to cook, but she was excited to learn.
