The Fairy Clan of Phenloris "An Adventure in a Magical Land"

by Therese Grant

Overview

Long ago, in a land no longer remembered, lived a clan of fairies, well-hidden from men and kings. Their peaceful existence went undisturbed and unnoticed until…
Thus begins a magical tale of fairies and humans, of kings and queens and princesses, of lovers and others—a tale set in a fairy-tale world of enchanting beauty and unspeakable horrors.
Kim is a strikingly beautiful fairy princess who one day finds herself coming to the aid of a wounded human soldier. Fairies are forbidden to have contact with humans, so Kim is risking the wrath of her father, the king, to save the soldier’s life. And although she’s promised to wed Huw, the bond that she and the soldier develop will last them a lifetime.
Soon, Kim acquires magical powers that no other fairies in her clan have ever had. Could it have something to do with the elf, whose life she’s also saved? The fairies concoct their magical potions and conduct their special ceremonies—strictly out of sight of any human observers. Kim’s parents are left only to shake their heads in frustration at the antics of their precocious, but talented, daughter.
“Perhaps you should have nine daughters just like you to torment you to the end of your days, Kimberlyn,” her mother pronounced on her in frustration one day. So, indeed, Kim and Huw are blessed with nine fairy babies—well outside of the normal numbers of one or two.
The nine little fairy babies grow up soon enough, and quickly begin to frustrate Kim with their antics, finally causing—and then helping to resolve—the climactic episode where love and loyalty endure win over all.

About the Author

Therese Grant spent most of her childhood in Cleveland, Ohio where she enjoyed the company of her large family. Included in this wonderful menagerie of family were many aunts, uncles, and hoards of cousins. As large families often did in those days, they would gather at one house or another to cook, eat, drink, celebrate, and tell outrageous stories. Often, when the children gathered together in attics, basements, or out-of-doors, a contest would begin and a winner was declared after the most outlandishly frightening stories were told. The happy screams of children could be heard echoing up and down the stairs, long hallways, and into the streets.

This began Therese’s introduction into the art of fantasy storytelling. Shy by nature, it would take her several years before she would brave an audience. Always losing to a better storyteller, she nevertheless persevered, and never gave up on the idea of creating a great story.

Therese resides in Columbia, South Carolina with her husband and family. She is constantly surrounded by many of her loveable pets.
