    About this ebook

    This is a short story, only eighteen pages, about the creation of a kingdom. I was interested in describing how a new fairy world came into being as a complete creation, born once, and how a fairy queen is the mother of a kingdom in more than a metaphorical sense. The story only makes sense if you've read Tanaquill first. Although brief, I enjoyed writing it and hope you enjoy it as well.
