Half Faerie (Daughter Of Light)

Melia is an eighteen-year-old half-faerie, half-mortal who longs to fly like the fullblood faeries. She also yearns for a life that's truly her own, which might prove more difficult than sprouting wings. Her faerie mother practices black magic and her mortal father plots to bring war to the enchanted world. No matter how she tries to distance herself from them, Melia can't seem to escape their long shadow. After the half-faerie is accused of acting as her father's spy, her best friend advises a visit to the Illustrator, a mysterious woman who paints intricate body art. The woman marks Melia's forehead with a plain blotch. She claims it will call a green-eyed stranger from distant lands to the half-faerie's side. Spooked rather than comforted, Melia dismisses the woman's words. Rather, she travels to the mortal world to confront her father.The fallout from that visit destroys what's left of the half-faerie's already fractured family. Melia's mother is unforgiving. The punishment she metes out will leave her middle daughter torn between guilt and ecstasy, damage Melia's relationship with her two sisters, and challenge any future Melia might share with the green-eyed stranger. The day he arrives on the shores of Faerie, Melia receives news her younger sister has embraced their parents' damming legacy.As she is sucked deeper into the vortex of her family's dark history, Melia will have to trust the green-eyed stranger to help rescue her sister--or risk the rise of Faerie's darkest queen.Daughter of Light is a spinoff of the 14th century French fairy tale, Melusine. A high fantasy with fairy tale elements, it's great for readers who enjoy fairy tales retold. The variety of female characters, layered story, and intriguing cosmology make it a great read for young adult and older readers.
