Publisher Description

There is nothing in this world so important as true friendship, which oft times finds us just when we need it most...

In the ancient forest known as Ainar'isil, four races of faeries take turns as caretakers of their home: the Life Faeries of Spring, the Bright Faeries of Summer, the Gold Faeries of Autumn, and the Snow Faeries of Winter. At any one time, three are asleep, and one is awake, as it has been for thousands of years.

Each race is bound to their season, and they awaken only when their time has come to continue their task of watching over the Forest and the creatures that dwell within its borders. This cycle has continued uninterrupted under the watch of the Custodian for ten thousand years...

Until one day, when Nusti, a young Gold Faery, awakens outside of Autumn and finds himself in Winter instead. Alone, confused, and with his brethren all sleeping, he ventures out into the cold, white world of snow and ice in search of answers.

Along the way he meets Crina, a Snow Faery boy of similar age, who joins him on his journey to discover the truth of his awakening. What the boys find in the Forest will change their lives forever...

I tend to write to drive the plot forward, dropping in moments of humour and emotion where necessary, and I almost always have a little bit of romantic (mis)adventure along the way!
