BLURB:

One taken. One wounded. One left behind.

In the years since their uncle left them, Mira, Gale, and Lily Harwin have done all they could to carve out a life for themselves. But when their village becomes the battleground for two factions of warring fey, Lily is stolen away, and Mira is struck with a mortal wound. The only way to survive is no to be taken to the fey’s Court of Helenium, leaving Gale behind.

Awakening in the care of Kerian, a benevolent fey lord who appears utterly devoted to the protection of all humankind, Mira must recover and learn the ways of his homeland, as well as the nature of the war that threatens to bury him and the whole of his Court. Someone has managed to pierce the wards he has protected for over two centuries, and he is keen to find out who and why.

As such, Mira and Kerian are bonded in purpose: she must find her sister and the other villagers, and Kerian is honor-bound to aid and protect her along the way. Despite the bloody, oppressive history between their respective peoples, the connection between them grows into something deeper than a mere alliance, bonding over the harsh responsibilities their respective lives have thrust upon them.

All three Harwin sisters must deal with the politics, magic, and challenges of this new world, fighting with guile, brute strength, and everything else they have until they’re back together, safe in each other's arms.

Where Myth Fades to Legend is an epic fantasy with heavy romantic subplots, inspired by celtic and slavic mythology, and the first book in the Burdens of Legacy series.

Light magic in my world isn’t just bright lights or laser blasts.

It is called “light” for the sake of simplicity. It is actually magical energy made into solid constructs, such as weapons, shields, and even armor. Because it glows, it has since been given the moniker of “light magic” and, from a physics/writing perspective, plays on the theory of “solid light”

It is among some of the most powerful magic and currently, only Sun Elves can use it, and my MMC is half Sun Elf half Fire Elf

He fight with staff :)

I know a lot of people say that fey are played out, but if I may ask…would you be interested if we changed things around a bit?

🍀 Courts named after Flowers

🍀 Fey with actual animalistic/elemental traits

🍀 Fey that talk about what it means to love someone with a shorter lifespan, and what that means culturally for them

🍀 Fey who don’t produce sexually, but through a magical ritual

🍀 Fey that do NOT call themselves male and female, for THEY are born of nature

🍀 Fey that aren’t JUST Hot Elves

All this, is in my book ;)

One of the most frustrating things about marketing as an author, is that you can't really sum up the finer points of your world-building in tropes.

Like, yes, there is Forced Proximity, One Bed, and Spice and all that...

But there's also fey who are made of plants, that can teleport through root systems and regrow limbs through propagation like actual plants.

How do I show these more personal and exciting parts to potential readers? XD
