As a child M. Cummins Fair spent the days outdoors searching for fairy rings, talking to trees, and staring into ponds and puddles seeking that mythical but all too real passage to the world of sprites, elves and other sensible beings. Somewhere, M. Cummins Fair reasoned, there were noble creatures - men and women to whom sacrifice and honor were not words, not choices, but part and parcel of the very fiber of their beings. There was a place where light had triumphed, and evil, greed, and avarice been banished. A place where those who gloried in the dark got their wish and were consigned to the tenebrous nether regions of torment and torture, never to return. M. Cummins Fair's mother prophesied that one day these idle fantasies would be outgrown. One day the child who believed in faeries would 'put away the things of a child' and become an adult. M. Cummins Fair preferred to believe Peter Pan over her mother, and refused to grow up. The result of this is a series of epic fantasy novels set on a post - apocalyptic twelfth century world where animals walk as humans, mortals are transformed into wind, fire, rain and earth, where darkness triumphs for a brief time before the light returns, and a young woman makes a journey of discovery that will transform both her and her world... forever. |
