Twelve Days of Faery

Written by W.R. Gingell

Narrated by Nick Howden-Steenstra

King Markon of Montalier is at the end of his tether. His son, Prince Parrin, is afflicted with a rather nasty curse that slaughters, maims, or brutally attacks any woman with whom he so much as flirts. After the rumour that sweeps around the kingdom, promising that any woman breaking the ‘curse’ will be eligible to marry the prince, there is no shortage of willing volunteers. Unfortunately, there is also no shortage of bodies piling up.

Markon needs to do something, but what? Can a visiting enchantress from Avernse help, or is she simply another accident waiting to happen? And will Markon be able to give her up to his son if she does break the curse?

Twelve Days of Faery is the first novella in the Shards of a Broken Sword Trilogy.

W.R. Gingell

W.R. Gingell is a Tasmanian author of urban fantasy, fairy-tale retellings, and madcap science fiction who doesn’t seem to be able to write a book without a body suddenly turning up. She solemnly swears that all such bodies are strictly fictional in nature. W.R. spends her time reading, drinking a truly ridiculous amount of tea, and slouching in front of the fire to write. Like Peter Pan, she never really grew up, and is still occasionally to be found climbing trees.

Reviews for Twelve Days of Faery

[Anna Scovel · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Fun story, satisfying ending. Actually didn’t expect that it would be as fun as it was. The cover and blurb don’t sound as fun a the story actually was. I’m not sure what gave me the idea but for some reason I assumed the king was a Faery King. He human though.

This is a sweet fairytale, perfect for young and old. Our heroine is at once sly and innocent. The hero brave, honorable, but also vulnerable. Definitely a who done it I can listen to again and again.
