A gemcutter’s daughter, Jena yearns to create jewellery for the Diadem Court – until a mysterious noble appears, wearing a ring that opens her world to the magic she possesses.

When Robin’s Gran dies and he moves to Erlking Hall, he learns that’s he’s descended from a mystic race of Fae-people, whose homeland, the Netherworlde, is caught in the throes of a terrible civil war – one that threatens the human realm, too.
Isle of Winds is the first instalment in ‘The Changeling Series’, written in the traditions of high fantasy story-telling. And if there’s anything better than a fantasy novel it’s a fanasy series.
