About this ebook
Deep in the Lurr Forest there is a valley called Saint Elm's Deep. This secret valley stays in a perpetual state of Spring and hosts the thousands of Fae who live there. The Heart Tree's magic sustains the boundaries that protect them all and their lush forest, but the hoar witch has poisoned its roots.
Queen Corydalis needs a certain shard to cast a beckoning so that the Emerald Eyed Champion of lore might come and save them all, for he is the only one who can end the hoar witch, and if they hope to save the Heart Tree that deed has to be done.
Join Thorn, Bristle, and Barb, the Pixie Queens fiercest, smartest and most loyal elves as they take a thrilling journey out of their protected world into true Overland, where danger hides around every corner and everything they ever loved is at stake.

Author’s note about the timeline of this story:
This tale starts at about the same time

It can be read at any time during the series, but will serve readers best
if they read it before they read book four, which is due for release Jan. 9th 2014.
This story is not part of the main Vanx Malic tale, but the character Foxwise Posy-Thorn is destined to become relevant, if he can survive this ordeal.
Thank you and enjoy, M. R. Mathias
