The Books of Faerie

She was taken in by the kindly faerie queen Dymphia, who raised her as a daughter. All was well until Dymphia’s husband returned from war and met the young girl (now known as Rosebud). In her, he saw the chance for a new bride—as well as the heir he had never been able to sire with Dymphia. Conveniently, Dymphia was put out of the picture, and Rosebud became the new queen Titania. And Timothy Hunter’s story was just beginning…
