The Fae have been living in peace but something is determined to shatter their world. Prince Breslyn, Frankie, Graely and many of the Legend characters are in the fight as our Heroine, Druid Priestess Riley and the guard she is assigned, Prince Desmond take on the Entity trying to destroy their rule.
Here is an excerpt as our story begins:

Saul Alinsky had once written, Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.

I COULDN’T SLEEP. WHY? GOOD reason. For the second time in m’life, the Queen of the Sidhe Fae of Tir came to visit.
I heard her call m’name and sat up. She wasn’t present in her physical form. Instead, she floated above me like a faraway image, whispering as she told me she needed m’help.
“Lady Riley of the House of McToby, faithful priestess,” she murmured. “I call on you in our time of need.”
“Me? I only became a priestess a little over a year ago. How can I help the powerful Fae?”
“Look at you, so much like your mother. Same bright tantalizing red hair…even more beautiful, and your green eyes…full with life. But now, you must listen carefully and promise me you will find a way to fix what I presently cannot,” the queen said soulfully.
“I will do anything for ye.” I said at once. The queen had come to m’call when I needed her not so long ago. I had only been in service as a Druid Priestess for a year, the year after my mother passed. I had inherited her position as High Druid Priestess but had trained for it all m’life. Druids must train for twenty years.
My father had fallen seriously ill. I was beyond sick over it. How could I lose him as well? M’parents had served the Fae for so long and so faithfully, and I felt I could call on the queen to save him. She actually answered m’call.
Without a moments’ hesitation, she said, “This I can do. His illness is not beyond my capability yet.” She gave m’darlin’ father back to me and thus sealed m’love and promise that I would die for her and the Fae.
“What I ask, may cost…more than I have a right to ask of you,” she said softly.
“And still, I will do whatever ye need, m’queen,” I answered at once.
“Thank you, child. I haven’t much time…our situation is dire. I am linked with Queen Mab, of the Daoine Fae and we are quickly fading into this endless sleep. A new evil has emerged and it has poisoned us. Once again, like the traitor Gaiscioch in those early years,this evil one means to destroy the peace of both the Daoine and Tir. Our worlds are now on the precipice of falling and if we fall so too will the innocent humans.”
“How…what…” I was astonished. What could I do?
“The poison was meant to kill us. The evil is only delayed in its plans because we did not die, but we are falling into a deep sleep. I don’t have much time. Perhaps this new being whatever, whoever it is will move fast to secure its needs but does not realize what a queen can still accomplish, even when she is fading. We, Mab and I are royals, and the poison didn’t quite hit its mark. We will need the cure for the poison. It is taking all that I have left in me to break out and call to you.”
“What is the poison? Perhaps I can find an antidote?”
“We don’t know. That is one of the jobs I leave to you and my young prince Desmond of Lugh.”
“Where do we start? What should we do?”
“You are the One. It is written a High Druid Priestess shall appear to take on the fight. You are that Priestess. I am sure of it.”
