The Shadow Queen and Other Tales - Ariele Sieling - Bog

In this collection of five original fairy tales by Ariele Sieling, each tale uses classic fairytale elements and themes to explore concepts such as right and wrong, moral ambiguity, and hope. In Cleo and the Wisp of Wind, meet Cleo, a mage who is just discovering the extent of her powers in a world that doesn't seem to want her. In The Mage on the Mountain, an older Cleo is forced to decide which is more important: power or relationships. In The Shadow Queen, the queen must make a plan for how to handle her successor in the absence of children or anyone she deems capable of ruling her kingdom. In Labyrinth of Desire, meet Hollis, whose husband disappears while on a work crew tasked with building the queen's new palace. In The Staff of Blood and Bone, meet Esme, a young thief with strange dreams who simply longs for security and stability. This book is the third in a series of collections filled with brand-new original fairy tales.
