Returning to the worlds of Modern Faerie Tales and Elfhame, these stories reveal new depths to beloved characters, with two never-before-seen tales: one exploring Madoc’s inner life during his exile, and another capturing the moment High King Cardan discovers what he truly desires.

A reluctant king is thrown into turmoil when the girl he loves to hate is stolen by the Undersea.

An exiled redcap, trapped in the mortal world, must rediscover his inner monster.

A mortal girl sacrifices the other half of herself for an unworthy faerie lover.

A tiny sprite’s determination to prove herself puts the entire High Court in danger.
