Books from the Backlog #118

 

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread.  If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. This is a fun meme hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books!

When magic sleeps, everything changes.


For as long as she can remember, Winnie Price has visited another world in her dreams, a magical fae realm caught up in a war of intrigue and sorcery. Where nature is all-powerful and a dark prince will do anything to save his dying clan. She thought this realm was pure imagination, until one midsummer’s eve when the owl who visits her window once a month transforms into a boy before her eyes. And not just any boy, the dark fae prince.


With his clan on the verge of extinction, Cathair O Cuana knows that his secret feelings for the human girl can never be more than fantasy. Caught between duty and emotion, he knows his responsibility to his people comes first. But when the magic sleeps and she sees his true form, the girl he yearns for finally feels within his reach—just as a traitor in the palace pushes the kingdom to the brink of war. Will disaster drive them apart or pull them together?


In a world where dreams, magic, and war collide, a human girl with a special ability and a fae prince with the weight of a kingdom on his shoulders must risk everything for a chance at happily ever after.

I added Tera Lyn Childs' When Magic Sleeps to my TBR pile in April of 2016. This I do believe was a newsletter freebie! Goodreads shows it as a 41 page short story, so that clocks about right I suppose for a freebie. I think it might have been a trilogy as well, and I think I have the rest on my kindle somewhere too! The question though is if it's on my old kindle or current one! Lol. As I don't believe I transferred my purchases onto my new one when I got it however many years ago. Luckily, I still have the old kindle and charger and of course that's likely stored somewhere in my Amazon account! I think I might give these a read eventually as they sounded like fun! Plus since it's a quick read it would definitely help my Goodreads Challenge should I ever need it!
