Layla rescued fairies that had been kidnapped and brought to the human world. But now they can’t find their way back to the magic realm and time is running out.

Layla is a powerful fairy with magical ability that stretches beyond throwing spells. But with all that power, she still doesn’t know how to get over one-hundred fairies back to the magic realm. With their magic gone, the rescued fairies have no immunity to protect them from the toxins of the human world, and they’re slowly dying.

To find the path home, Layla knows she must team up with the one man who can make her insides quiver with an accidental brush of his fingertips. The same man who’s alter ego dragon is the natural predator of fairies. The man she knows will give his life to keep the fairies safe—Scotland’s finest Specialist Crime Division leader, Ian Cameron.

Ian has only been a dragon shifter for a few days. He struggles to control the dragon spirit locked inside his human form, doesn’t know what magical powers he may or may not have, and has never been to a magical world. But none of those things frighten him as much as the little spark that ignites in his soul when the half – human fairy is around.

But this little fairy is no Tinkerbell. She is brave, powerful, and can wield a sword like a medieval knight.

With growing feelings toward Layla, he couldn’t refuse to help her get the fairies back to the magic realm if he wanted to. The problem is the dragon who lives inside him would like nothing more than to feed his appetite with all of those little fairies—especially the half human one who killed its leader.

Since this book takes place in Scotland, and I’m going there in just 2 weeks, I asked Mary to give me a top 10 about Scotland!

  1. The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland (This is totally cool!!!)
  2. Braveheart was actually the nickname of Robert the Bruce, not William Wallace. Let’s hope the new movie gets it right!
  3. Scotland has 3 official languages. English, Scots, Scottish Gaelic. I speak 2 of the three. Guess which? Yep. English and Scottish Gaelic.
  4. A loch is a lake and the deepest is not Loch Ness. It’s Loch Morar which is 1077 feet deep.
  5. Scotland has the highest number of gingers (redheads) in the world.
  6. Scots are more likely to have blue eyes than anybody else in the world.
  7. The national symbol is the Thistle.
  8. The kilt is the national dress, the bagpipes are the national instrument, and Gaelic was the language of the highlands and islands. All were outlawed in 1746 after the battle of Culloden under The Act of Proscription. It was repealed in 1782.
  9. Sasann is the Gaelic word for England. Sasannach simply means an English person.
  10. The Gaelic word for whisky is uisge-beatha which literally means water of life.

 

 

 

Author Bio:

Mary Karlik has always been a dreamer. When she was a teen, she read The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, and then sat in every wardrobe in her Nanna’s home, trying to open the door to Narnia. She didn’t find it, but she did discover her voice as an author: one filled with her young adult self, and grounded in her roots as a Texan and her Scottish heritage, nourished by obscure Scottish folklore.
You can find her Texas roots in her YA contemporary romance Hickville series , which has been described as “100% solid storytelling,” and begins with Welcome to Hickville High, a “lovely story about growing up.”
She digs deep into her Scottish roots – there is magic there, she just knows it – for the forthcoming YA epic fantasy Fairy Trafficking series, beginning with Magic Harvest.
She makes her home in the beautiful Sangre de Cristo mountains of Northern New Mexico where she is a certified professional ski instructor, but she also loves visiting Scotland where she is currently studying Scottish Gaelic at the University of Highlands and Islands in Skye. Mary also earned her MFA in Writing Popular Fiction from Seton Hill University, has a B.S. degree from Texas A&M University, and is a Registered Nurse.
Mary currently serves as the President of the Young Adult Chapter of Romance Writers of America and looks forward to raising a glass or two of gin and tonic with her fellow writers every year at RWA’s national convention.
