Gwendolyn, the Emerald Fairy

Fairies feel no pain, no cold, and no hunger. They eat for pleasure and live a life of ease in their fairy kingdom. But that comes to an end every one hundred years, when fairies go through the Change and turn into mortal snakes with no magic for a week. At the end of the week, their magic will become stronger, if they survive…

Emerald, the youngest of seven fairy sisters, is almost a hundred and wants to go on a quest to the mortal world. Because of the danger of not making it back to the safety of the fairy kingdom in time, she is forbidden to go by her father. Emerald doesn't let that stop her, like a typical “teenager”, and sneaks away to the mortal world anyway. Misjudging her time, she does not make it back, and must spend the week as a powerless snake. What she doesn’t know, and what her family didn't tell her about the Change is that fairies in their mortal form are not only subject to pain and hunger, but their hearts are mortal and vulnerable to love...

Kelvin is a mortal prince who has been imprisoned by the devious Queen Nefaria to force him to marry her spoiled daughter Conceitina. He refuses, and when threats don’t work, Nefaria summons the wicked fairy Black Opal to magically compel him to obey. The spell backfires and Kelvin is transformed into a white hawk and given a week to find true love, or he must marry Conceitina.

Kelvin and Emerald meet in their enchanted forms. Can they survive the week? Is there a way for mortals and fairies to be together? Will Nefaria’s plan succeed? Can Black Opal be defeated, who has wicked plans of her own? Read the story to find out.

An original fairy tale full of adventure, magic spells, fairies, trolls, dragons, and finding true love. This is a story children of all ages will enjoy.
