WINDLEAF

A tale of love between mortal and fairy (actually, half- fairy); of a fierce and fickle fairy father; and of the trials and tribulations set before the mortal ere he's granted the hand of his fair lady. Along the way, a cold marriage is made warmer, an enchanted forest is given back to the wild, the long-lost way back to Faerie is found, and the hard heart of the fairy lord is softened. If plot elements and language are a little old- fashioned and familiar, honor and romance are served, and the reader is—at least temporarily—diverted. (Fiction. 12+)
