A completed folkloric fantasy trilogy about a prickly scholar, dangerous faeries, and a patient romance.
The trilogy remains relatively gentle, but the faeries are dangerous rather than domesticated or purely whimsical.
Best if you want
- Academic competence, folklore, and wintry fieldwork.
- A slow-burn relationship that develops beside the research.
Think twice if you need
- Epic warfare or rapid escalation from page one.
- Fully explained, rule-based faerie magic.
