The Consort Duet Series by Lily Archer

They call me the village spinster. I rather enjoy it. Single and free to dance with the witches under the moonlight whenever I please—what could be better than that? When the day king shows up to take ten changelings as his consorts, I’m happy those selection days are behind me. At least I thought they were. But instead of ten young females, King Solano chooses only one. Me. Emma Druzy, sock darner and 28-year-old spinster of Moonhollow... moreThey call me the village spinster. I rather enjoy it. Single and free to dance with the witches under the moonlight whenever I please—what could be better than that? When the day king shows up to take ten changelings as his consorts, I’m happy those selection days are behind me. At least I thought they were. But instead of ten young females, King Solano chooses only one. Me. Emma Druzy, sock darner and 28-year-old spinster of Moonhollow. He takes me to the day realm, a world of sun and beauty the likes of which I’ve never imagined. Solano is far more than he seems, his wit and his warmth breaking down my walls. But there’s danger here, too, the sort that creeps up on you despite the bright light of day. And if I’m not careful, I’ll lose my heart to the day king or my life to his enemies. (Lily’s note: Fae’s Consort is a full-length novel that is the first in a duet. Mind the cliff.) less

Whatever memories I have of light, those are falsehoods, ones forced on me by my enemy. By my greatest hate—King Solano... moreEmmaA sliver of light in the back of my mind.
