Enya's Light is a story of fantasy colliding with some of life's harshest realities, with just a touch of faith to save the day.
Enya Polaris is a sprite among fairies whose upbringing has lead her where few other fairies would dare follow. Thanks to her free-thinking family, she has deviated from the accepted religion and the fairies' most coveted law:
to avoid humans at all costs, a law that came into effect after the tragic death of Enya's own family, the founders of UTOPIA, an agency previously devoted to reuniting the two species but since recommitted to ensuring their paths never, ever cross.
Aiden Rieche has suffered a most difficult tragedy. His father disappeared driving his mother to suicide. His father returned and was immediately committed to the Happy Hollow Insane Asylum leaving Aiden with only his late mother's closest friend to watch over him, former FBI agent, Derek Smith. Aiden is unconvinced that his father is truly insane, so to prove his father's preposterous claim of being rescued by a small group of fairies Aiden plans to capture one and expose the creature to the government, thereby earning back his family's dignity.
What does this mean for Enya when she is finally allowed on her first mission: locating a human who is too close to discovering the fairy race?
Excerpt
Olan took a deep breath and sighed. “Enya, I’m so sorry.” Those weren’t good words. Never. She began shaking her head and backing into the couch. “They’re—they’re gone.” The tears came but there was no sound. She continued to shake her head. Impossible. Flit turned to her and she fell into him. He held her and looked at Olan. Neither man knew what to say. Finally her sobs were heard. She didn’t scream like she’d heard some people do. She only cried into Flit’s suit. And he let her…
There was the sensation of being sucked out of the room. Out the door, it slammed shut, down the hall and back to reality. She bolted upright and could feel the tears streaming down her face. She wiped them away and found the light. She was back in the closet, where she’d spent every night since that day six years ago. Every night spent in that room brought the same horrible dream. She checked her watch. Six a.m. She had time, and she had errands to run. Alright girl, she told herself, time to start another day, you can do it, shake it off. She got up and prepared to greet the world once again. She couldn’t keep running from her past she knew. She had a feeling that one day soon, the past was going to catch up with her…

Enya's Light
A Touching Tale Of Life & Loyalty,
September 8, 2008
By Apex Reviews (Durham, NC USA)
Fairy Agent Enya Polaris is a sixteen year-old girl among a race of fairies more than a millennia her senior, but that won't ever stop her from trying to keep U.T.O.P.I.A., the agency her family founded, alive and running. She faces the constant challenges of being a teenager and of being the One from the prophecies her species found and are trying to decipher. Enya gets kidnapped by the son of a human man that her family died to save, and he wants to bind her to him so that he can turn her over to the government to prove his father is not crazy. Will Enya escape her captor? Or will they end up working together in order to rescue his father from the Happy Hollows insane asylum?
Enya's Light is a tale about family, loyalty, faith, and budding love. Throughout the story, Enya relies solely on her faith to help her through her hardships. Even though none of the other Fairies believe her, she sticks to her beliefs and tries to get them to understand them as well. Her captor, Aiden, is like an M&M; he's hard on the outside, but definitely has soft, sweet center. Enya's Light is a refreshing story by a young author who definitely has a bright future ahead of her. Highly recommended to all the fantasy readers out there, as well as readers who share the faith with Enya.
