Return to the world of Melissa Marr's bestselling series
and
discover how the events of Wicked Lovely set a different
faery tale in motion. . . . Originally presented as a
manga
series and now available for the first time as a stand-
alone
novel, Desert Tales combines tentative romance, outward
strength, and inner resolve in a faery story of desert
and
destiny.
The Mojave Desert was a million miles away from the plots
and schemes of the Faerie Courts—and that's exactly why
Rika
chose it as her home. The once-mortal faery retreated to
the
desert's isolation after decades of carrying winter's
curse
inside her body. But her seclusion—and the freedom of the
desert fey—is threatened by the Summer King's newfound
strength. And when the manipulations of her trickster
friend, Sionnach, thrust Rika into a new romance, she
finds
new power within herself—and a new desire to help
Sionnach
protect the desert fey and mortals alike. The time for
hiding is over.
