Previously published as Fairytale Christmas by Merrie Destefano. This novella was part of the USA Today Bestselling anthology, Secret Santa. Outlander meets Sleeping Beauty in this legendary tale of love and war between mortals and immortals. Narrated by the Queen of the Faeries, this story tells of the historic invasion that led to the exodus of the Fair Folk from ancient Ireland. Three thousand years ago, a war began between the immortals and the mortals. It's a war that continues to this day... Before history began, a legendary queen battled a foreign army, braved the death of her husband, and faced betrayal at the hand of someone she trusted. This is the story of Eire, Queen of the Faeries, the Immortal One, and the leader of the Tuatha de Danann. To this day, her homeland, Ireland, bears her name, and this is the story of the war that drove the Immortal Ones into exile. It's also the tale of how she found help from an unexpected place, leading her to a love like she had never known before. Faery Magic is a story that spans thousands of years. It's also the beginning of all of our fairytales and legends; it's where mortals and immortals survive because they love one another, proving that love is the greatest gift of all. This is the first installment in the Fair Folk Saga, a journey that lasts until the end of time. By USA Today bestselling author and award-winning author, Merrie Destefano.
