"A swords-and-sorcery tale that dazzles..." -Kirkus Reviews

"THE IRON SWORD is a delightful start to a promising new fantasy series, and it's well worth a read, particularly for the reader who never outgrew the best fairy tales."- Catherine Langrehr for IndieReader

Tess O’Connor is looking forward to spending a relaxing few days in Texas away from college and civilization. Then she begins to have strange dreams about small, fierce fairies, and a mysterious, handsome Unseelie Knight shows up in the middle of the Hill Country with a summons from Queen Mab…for Tess’s best friend, Molly.

Whether Tess believes in the Fae or not, she can’t stand idly by while the Unseelie Knight spirits Molly away into a different world, and a split-second decision places the Unseelie Knight in Tess’s debt. With his honor at stake, the Knight breaks Queen Mab’s edict, bringing Tess into the Fae world along with Molly, and they are both swept into the dangerous intrigues of the Winter Court.

Queen Mab believes that Molly could fulfill an ancient prophesy about the Iron Sword, a weapon deadly to the Fae but wielded in centuries past by women descended from the druids and sworn to protect both the Fae and mortal worlds. With evil rising in the Fae world and as the mortal no one meant to be there, Tess faces threats from both within the Court and outside its walls. As Tess makes allies with outcasts and learns to fight with both swords and words, she must uncover her own destiny, and find the unlikely hero who may be able to save them all…

Contains mild fantasy violence, peril and a dash of romance (non-explicit). The start to a complete 7-book fantasy series, The Fae War Chronicles.
