The Birth of Spring
An Enchanted Storyteller Tale
When the Winter King stays the wheel, refusing to allow the season to turn, the Summer Queen has no choice but to declare war.
Yet, there is one within the southern realms unwilling to see the people of Faery wage war. Astara, daughter of the Summer Queen, has taken it upon herself to journey alone to the northern realms, seek out the Winter King, and beg him if she must, to release the wheel. The season must be allowed to change.
The people of Faery could not go to war, for if they did, the land and all that depended upon its bounty would suffer.
Somehow, Astara must make the Winter King remember this before the bitter chill of winter silenced her voice forever.
THE STYGIAN SOUL
There are souls so sinister and bleak that good fears to look within but perhaps if we venture deep enough, we will discover more than just pain. Come, journey with us through that darkness to find what lies within those Stygian Souls.
Dark fantasy from Michele Acker, Bob Faw, Carol Hightshoe, Lee Masterson, Sheri L. McGathy, Tina Morgan, and Rie Sheridan. Cover art by Matt Baugh.
Reviews:
Here is a collection of sometimes poignant; sometimes darkly humorous
stories surrounding the fall (and sometime redemption) of souls. A fascinating read!

Deemed One of the Top 10 indie Fantasy releases of 2010 by Fantasy Book Critic, and listed in the first ever Publishers Weekly Indie Select issue, the original 235k word epic title was written in longhand in a Texas prison cell by M. R. Mathias.
The ancient kings of Whitehawk were all too aware of the temptation of magic. They could feel its threat, a presence in their courts, a serpent slithering at their feet, even entering into their beds.
