[ Fantasy / Romance / Book 1 ] In Pyxis, a city of fairies at the icy border of civilization, Queen Andromeda intends to reach into the modern world of humans and kill everyone associated with her ex-husband, Scott MacRae, the King of the Unworthy, born with the ability to live in either world, fairy or human. Scott's sons, Christopher and Joseph MacRae, are enmeshed in their own struggles, oblivious of the forces that have shaped their lives and led to a rift between them. The fate of the MacRae family rests in very small hands. With the queen's estranged daughter, Cassiopeia, acting as their guide, the MacRae brothers learn more about their intertwined families and embark on a quest to find Scott MacRae before Andromeda finds him first. Their quest, shared by the fairy princess, takes them great distances, both geographical and personal. All the while, Pyxis plagues their thoughts, haunts their dreams, and sends forth its dark messengers to carry out the war that started long before they were born. It is possible that love could heal old wounds. But in the wrong place at the wrong time, it may have as much dividing power as evil does. . . . *BOOK 1, SECOND EDITION *A Wattpad Featured Story *@fantasy - "Dark Fantasy" reading list *@highfantasy - "PRYTHIAN | Fae and Fairies" reading list *RUNNER UP in the Earnesty's Writer Awards "Fairy Tale" sub-genre The Fairy Tale series: Disgrace (prequel) 1) Winter's Bite 2) The Rising Star

Jeremiah was just an ordinary teenager until a hidden trail deep within Jamaica's Blue Mountains led him into a world that should never have existed. Lost in a land where monsters roam, ancient powers stir, and survival is never guaranteed, he is forced to fight for a people who fear him as much as the creatures lurking beyond their walls. Every answer uncovers a deeper mystery. Every ally hides secrets. And every step toward finding his way home pulls him further into a conflict that began long before he arrived. As darkness closes in and an impossible threat looms over the village, Jeremiah must decide what kind of person he is willing to become. Because in a world built on deception, courage alone may not be enough to survive. Some paths cannot be walked twice. Some truths are buried for a reason. And some locks were never meant to be opened.
