(3.75) | Keine | Torn apart by Fate. Reunited by a wish. A Land of the Fey story. The Fey civil war has ended, but some of the remaining wounds are still raw. Not the least of which is a rift suffered between Alaric, a respected Forge Master, and Lord Valerian, Captain of the Queen's Guard. Alaric, horrifically scarred during the course of the conflict, feels his disfigurement is an insurmountable barrier between him and his lover. Alaric's best friend Lily knows, left alone, Alaric and Valerian will never resolve their issues. She has her own reasons for playing matchmaker, and since patience isn't her strong suit, she decides it's time for some gentle interference. The upcoming Reconciliation Ball will be the perfect opportunity, for at this ball a gift will be given to everyone who attends--the granting of one wish. But Lily isn't the only one playing a game with other people's lives. One wish will set in motion a chain of events that will bring them all face to face with the past, the future...and the truth.… (mehr) |

The worst thing about attending fairy balls is the petticoats, fumed Lily as she stomped her way through the forest. They tripped her up, scratched her thighs and rucked up her ass. The backbiting, sniping and bitching, also de rigueur at these events, paled in comparison. | |

The story is not very long, less than 80 pages, but it's very sweet and romantic. Alaric and Valerian are deeply in love, and their love is never put in question. Circumstances maybe led them apart, but nor Alaric or Valerian disown their promises. Probably Alaric's worries can be considered silly, give so much weight to a ephemeral thing like beauty, but in the Fey's world, beauty is almost everything. What Alaric doesn't understand is that beauty is in the eyes of who watches, and for Valerian beauty is not a physical thing. Alaric, with his work and his good heart, creates beautiful things and inspires beautiful feelings in Valerian, and so for him, Alaric is the most handsome man ever.
A very sweet fantasy romance, flows easy and smooth, and it's also funny at some points, with the strange fairy godmothers like Lily and Flora.
