Come join Devin and the villagers, the soldiers, and Bjornmen in this riveting tale of the Fae, most commonly known over the years as fairies. Devin and his mother travel through the woods, after escaping an abusive father and husband, hitching a ride on a wagon train that was soon attacked by bandits, leaving them deserted and on their own. This is not an ordinary adventure of survival, though. What happens to Devin and his mother will forever change their lives, even if they don't find out why until years later. Devin and the other villagers lived a peaceful, normal village life until one day confusion and madness erupted. Refugees from other villages began seeking safety from the Bjornmen who invaded the land, burnt their homes, and not just raided them of their goods this time. Soldiers began filling the little village and surrounding area to help protect them from an attack by the Bjornmen. Little did the village people, soldiers, and Bjornmen know they would not only be fighting each other, but a common enemy once thought to be a child's tale. Do you believe in fairytales or Tales of the Fae?
