Shut your blinds and stay inside, the priests said. The Other Folk will treat you as an enemy.

All their lives, this trio of friends listened to their people's leaders warn them about the dangers of the fey folk. It never seemed completely real, though, let alone a threat that could remake their lives. As the prince Devan closes in on his twenty-third birthday, though, that's about to change. The First are very real, not to mention people with opinions on the mortals who moved into the region, stole their territory, and declared war on them.

On Devan's birthday, he will become the living embodiment of their saint. The mortal who put one over on the First several hundred years ago. The faerie king has a plan to capitalize on this, but he's not as clever as he thinks. He's taken time to learn his enemy but doesn't know himself so well. And there's something both their peoples have lost sight of as they feud with one another over territory and ideals, which is that an adversary isn't quite the same thing as a real villain. There are true evils in the world that might see their dispute as an opportunity.

Fear the Wood, Thin the Trees is a steamy new adventure about passion and honesty from the Realm of the Throneless King. Meet the winged faerie-king and his mortal prince!
