At
the farthest ends of Midgard, where Alfheim begins, the Fae goddess Fand gazed
upon
Kallan’s
fair city. Lorlenalin. The White Opal. The Dokkalfar citadel. Humming a ditty,
she
collected
her skirts and idly glided through the wood surrounding the city.
Like
threads of gold, Seidr flowed from the tips of Fand’s fingers. It flowed down
her
gown
and branched across the first autumn frost glistening in the moonlight as if
the Fae gods
themselves
had emerged from Under Earth and touched down on the lands of Midgard. Like
veins,
the Seidr webbed a path to the city. The life she found there was strong, but
hollow with
grief
for their missing queen. Fand called the Seidr back, and she smiled. Memories
of the dead
never
survive the ages. It was only a matter of time before the Dokkalfar forgot
their precious
queen.
“This
won’t be too hard.”
Fand
took a step and strips of leather wove themselves around her bare foot. By the
time
she
took a second step, she wore a pair of fine leather boots. Her gowns of Under
Earth reknitted
themselves
into something simpler, but just as suggestive. Just as inviting. The gems she
wore
to ordain her bodice became grains of golden sand that vanished with the wind.
Her
cheekbones
rounded out. Her pearlescent skin darkened to look more like a daughter of
Alfheim
than
the pale, jeweled complexion of a Fae goddess of Eire’s Land.
Fand
pushed a hand through her raven black hair, sending strands of Seidr streaking
the
black
and changing it to a pale blond by the time her fingers reached the tips.
By
the time Fand stepped into a beam of moonlight where the Dokkalfar guards could
see
her,
all that remained of her original appearance was the stunning rings of gold
Seidr that
encircled
her pupils and the mesmermizing smile that arched her red lips.
By
dawn, only two would remember the name of Kallan, Daughter of Eyolf, Queen and
Lady
of Lorlenalin.

In 2014, Ms. Chrysler founded Brain to Books and the virtual trade show, Brain to
Books Cyber Convention. A passionate gardener and incurable cat
lover, Ms. Chrysler spends her days drinking coffee and writing
beside a volume of Edgar Allan Poe who strongly influences her style
to this day. When Ms. Chrysler is not writing, she enables her
addictions to all things nerdy, and reads everything she can get her
hands on no matter the genre. Occasionally, she finds time to mother
her three children and debate with her life-long friend who she
eventually married. Her writing is often compared to Tad Williams.
Her influences are Edgar Allan Poe, The Phantom of the Opera, and Frankenstein.

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great series and I love the covers. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeletePlease try not to spam posts with the same comments over and over again. Authors like seeing thoughtful comments about their books, not the same old, "I like the cover" or "sounds good" comments. While that is nice, putting some real thought and effort in is appreciated. Thank you.
