Book preview

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet."~

William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Chapter 1

I Am a Rose, an Honest Rose, Fairy of the Glen, Subject of the Summer Kingdom

Dear fellow fairies and friendly humans,

I am but an honest fairy, born and raised in the Glen of Roses. Hence my name Rose.

Like my name Rose, my hair blaze a deep strawberry red, lighten only by the gold hues of the sun. As the Summer days grow longer, my hair turns brighter, almost like the orange-red sun of Summer.

I am from the Kingdom of Summer, a wonderfully glorious kingdom where the sun shines brightly, the air is alive with the songs of Summer, and stars sparkle on the glistening leaves. Each blade of grass carries its own melody, and each flower petal her own perfume.

As I am named after the sweet flower rose, the perfume I smell these sweet summer days are the ones closest to my name. And like a rose, being a fey of Summer, I flourish best within the Summer lands.

This is magic...as Feyland is a land of magic.

I am from the world of Feyland, indescribably beautiful, with two suns and two moons, rolling valleys of green grass or red dirt, deep cravens of sharp precipices, gorges of bottomless edges, and skies of blues and lavender. Even the treacherous Winter Kingdom has its own form of beauty, although Summer has always believed its beauty superior to that of Winter.

I am a seasonal fairy, and a young one at that! I am a mere 367 years old in fairy age, which I believe dear human friends, whom I will call the SIGHTLESS because you often cannot see us fairies and other magical creatures of the fey, especially when we disguise ourselves with glamour, I am a mere thirteen years of age.

Since I am thirteen years of age in SIGHTLESS age, I am no longer just a child fairy, but of age to begin apprenticeship.

My friends August and Melony, Summer fairies all, have already began their apprenticeship, while I eagerly await a visit from our sovereignty to find out where I begin.

My choices? Be like my friends August, who work with Melony in preparing Summer Harvest all year long or be like my older brother Rodney, who began training three summers ago as a Summer Knight with the most elite Summer fairies of the kingdom.

Chances are, being that I am not at all as adept with a sword as Rodney, who is but a mere three years older than I, or age fifteen in SIGHTLESS eyes, I will not go to Fairy Knight Training. For although we have always practiced sword-fighting with wooden swords made out of oak by our own mother, out in the golden wheat fields behind our cottage since we started toddling, I do not have the gift of strength that Rodney has, nor can never be as swift. Rodney, with his kind eyes and gentle manner, is deceitfully deadly. He was born to be a knight, while I...well, what I was born to be has yet to be seen.

Chapter 2

Cooking Lessons like Knight Training

ROSE! A STRONG MALE voice called out from the doorway of our cottage. Come in and help me prepare dinner. It was Father, and he had on his clean white chef’s apron. On his fiery red head, sat a jaunty white mutton-top hat. Something he had picked up during a journey far away...across all of Feyland, across the flowing fields and streaming rivers...to someplace where humans live, and go to school, work, and even cook. A place where the SIGHTLESS live and cannot see us fairies unless we glamoured ourselves into one of them.

He chuckled as I ran, no, flew into the house as fast as a lightning fly, eager to help with dinner. I grabbed an additional apron hanging on a hook within the kitchen door, and pulled it on. It was Rodney’s old one- the one that he wore when he used to help Father prepare meals...before he left to attend knight training. The neglected apron hung down low, sagging to the ground on me. Father came over and tied the strings on top, using quick fingers to adjust the
