Their love is powerful. But is it strong enough to survive deception?

A new era is dawning for the Court of Light and the Court of Dark. Queen Aurora will soon be married to King Jarvok, and for the first time in history, Dark and Light Fae will be united. Except Aurora is also concealing a secret from everyone—she is with child.

Not everyone is pleased with the upcoming nuptials. Queen Aurora’s closest advisors have long held that Virtues and Power Angels are sacrosanct, and her bishops view her upcoming marriage as an abomination.

With her ability to rule now in question by those she trusts the most, instead of celebrating, Aurora is plagued by guilt and nightmares about the safety of her unborn child and the future of their kingdoms.

Together, she, Indiga, Dora, and the Familiars undertake a perilous mission to rescue the Little One who can lead them to the prophecy child. Yet, even if they save him, they still have many powerful enemies who will do anything to prevent the prophecy child from being found and fulfilling their destiny.

They were abandoned on earth by their Creator.

Now it’s a fight to the death in a world never intended for them …

Aurora, Queen of the Light Fae, is a former Virtue angel sent to earth to nurture the planet in preparation for humanity. Jarvok, King of the Dark Fae, was once a nameless foot soldier from the Power Brigade angels cast down to earth to fight against the demon horde.

After the Great War against Lucifer, both were abandoned with no explanation. They watched as their wings turned black, decaying painfully, while those around them went mad.

She wanted answers and to offer her kin protection—even if it meant denouncing the Creator. He wanted to be the master of his destiny and will never again relinquish his freedom.

No longer angels. No longer bound by the Creator. They became the Fae.

But to survive in this strange and beautiful primitive world, they soon discover human worship equals power.

Without it, the Court of Light’s potent elemental magick cannot withstand the fierce dragon-riding Dark Fae warriors.

And the war is only just beginning …

What happens when you give in to your enemy?

Or when an act of mercy turns into betrayal?

The war between the Court of Dark and Light waged for far too long. But at long last, each side has set their elemental magick and weapons down, and the Treaty of Bodhicitta is signed.

The rules are clear. Never again will the Fae spill their own blood, and human worship must be equal to both courts.

But while Queen Aurora and King Jarvok were playing their war games, the outside world has moved on from polytheism to monotheism. Now, the humans understand worship, equals power and wealth.

Queen Mary the First of England is on the throne and will go to any length to conceive a child—even one not entirely of her world. But as the pregnancy progresses, the reigning monarch questions if she’s instead made a deal with the devil.

Meanwhile, behind the Veil, Queen Aurora and King Jarvok are discovering in the new world order, the power dynamic has shifted and old resentments still linger. A single act could shatter their peace and start the war anew…

Birth of the Fae: Thine Eyes of Mercy is an epic fantasy adventure continuing the Fae origin story. Set in a beautifully fantastical world and weaving the decadent setting of Tudor England, it is a place where the fight between good versus evil tests the lines between what is right and wrong.
