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

Every emotion flitted across Bryce's face as he looked at her with eyes filled with love. His lips crushed down upon hers as passion quickly filled them both. A moment later, he pulled back, leaving her breathless as he kissed down her jaw and to her neck, and then back up to her lips. 


When he pulled back, he whispered, "Do not worry. Everything will work out."


Raine hoped he was right. "But how can this work out? I promised Virtra that I would return on the eve of the fifth night. Then, I am to become a fairy again."


Bryce nodded. "What will happen if you do not meet her?"


Raine let out a deep breath. "I will die. Anyway, I gave her my word."


Bryce nodded, understanding. In their society, your word was your oath, your bond, your honor. A person was only as good as keeping their word. "Then, let us make the most of it while you are here." He pulled her close to his chest, and breathed in her scent.
