[eBook version]

When Talwyn followed her people, the Golden, from the mist, she found herself reborn into a wondrous world of greens and blues and light and warmth.

When she heard the spirits within the trees call out to her, she found again the oneness she thought lost to her forever.

When the spirits showed her a future that would see her beloved trees destroyed, Talwyn vowed to protect them, even if it meant never returning to the mist again.

Within the swirling mists of time, fanciful whispers give birth to wonders beyond any known reality and shape a single moment into legend. This is one such tale...

The Ancient One

What could an ancient Crystal, the salvation of the Elfen Race of Ra-Jee, and two from the future have in common?

The Elfen Race of Ra-Jee is in jeopardy--in danger of becoming merely a memory. But destiny in the form of an Ancient Crystal has decreed that one young Elfen maiden, Ra-May, and one human male, Michall, must meet, and in that meeting, venture forward to vanquish the evil that has tainted Ra-Jee--or die trying.

Accompanied by Ra-May’s Guardian, an Elfen Warrior named Ra-Nu, and Michall’s mischievous kin, Phillip, they set out to challenge the Del-a-Shar who has enchanted Ra-Jee and stolen away the Elfen Race.
Ancient magic, awakened and set free once again, weaves its web throughout the story, bringing characters, events, and places together to accomplish its goal--whether they are willing or not.

THE SEASON OF SILVER, Elfen Gold Book Two ~ The adventure continues….

"Come, come. Do not dally. My old bones creak and moan their protests, begging me to finish what I have already begun.

"A tale awaits us, its ending yet to be told," the Storyteller proclaimed. " 'Tis a tale of legend, of magic and elves, of sorrow, and of hope.

"Come, gather near, and we will discover what mysteries abound within the mists of enchantment, and learn together, what fate holds for our young heroes."

The Storyteller waved his wrinkled hand before him as he nodded to a spot near his feet. "Come, sit, and listen, and I will continue the tale Ra-May and Michall began when first they set out to save the Elfen kingdom of Ra-Jee.

"And so," whispered the old Storyteller. "The tale begins…."

Sheri L. McGathy, the author of such stories as The Ancient One (From Within the Mist anthology) and Thief of Dreams (Twilight Crossings anthology) presents Within the Shadow of Stone, a journey through legend and myth to the time of the standing stones. To a world where warriors are bound to the silent megaliths and the Shroud Born walks within the mist.

Bree of Clan Dunstan, and her people, the Skye, worship the stones, though they fail to remember the reasons why. The Skye no longer hear the song within the silent megaliths for they've forgotten how to sing.

Now, as the pulse of the land slows, and the seasons fail, it's to the stones that Bree, a true Shroud Born, must turn, and their whispers she must hear. For within their still forms is a truth that could save them all, if only she will listen to their call.

~ When your need is truly great, the stone shall not forsake. ~

"Mine…" the wind wailed as its breath blew the barn doors wide and knocked the lantern from the nail. Flames leapt high; the laughter turned to screams.

Chloe gasped and turned away, only to find she still faced the TV. She spun about again, yet the TV continued to stand before her. Chloe's knees went weak. As she watched, a new scene flashed across the screen. Six tiny coffins lay on a straw-strewn floor, the lids pried open, the nails still protruding from the bowed wooden planks.

- From "Forgotten, But Not Gone, By Sheri McGathy

On the edge of sunset, hidden within the blue-gray hues of the coming night, dwell the realms of twilight--places where dreams become realities and reality is nothing but a dream. Within this quiet nothingness, nestled just on this side of starlight, the realm of Faery exists, safely tucked between the never was and the evermores. At least, this is what I believe. I hope you enjoy Thief of Dreams.

THIEF OF DREAMS by Sheri L. McGathy: Nerys Devi has met the man she could love with all her heart, the one she would share her dreams with. Yet, fate has other plans. Instead of sharing her dreams, will he now be doomed to haunt them?

When the Winter King stays the wheel, refusing to allow the season to turn, the Summer Queen has no choice but to declare war.

Yet, there is one within the southern realms unwilling to see the people of Faery wage war. Astara, daughter of the Summer Queen, has taken it upon herself to journey alone to the northern realms, seek out the Winter King, and beg him if she must, to release the wheel. The season must be allowed to change.

The people of Faery could not go to war, for if they did, the land and all that depended upon its bounty would suffer. Somehow, Astara must make the Winter King remember this before the bitter chill of winter silenced her voice forever.
