A special thanks to bookseller Kay Meriam Vamvakias: you have no idea how much your support and encouragement meant to me. You are a true friend of the Fey.
Thanks to the richly talented artist, Judy York, who so perfectly captured my vision of Rain, Ellysetta, and the tairen on my absolutely gorgeous covers—and for letting me use them on my Web site!
And, last but not least, thanks to the wonderful men and women of Tampa Area Romance Authors (TARA) who’ve been my writing family for the last five years. TARA Rocks!

About the Author
C. L. WILSON wrote her first story at age six, and though she took a number of long detours during her life, she never gave up her lifelong dream of being published. Many years, hundreds of false starts, and five completed novels later, she received “The Call” in October 2006 and sold her epic fantasy romance, TAIREN SOUL, at auction. Her debut novel spent two weeks on the USA Today list of bestselling books in America, and her subsequent novels have gone on to hit a variety of lists including USA Today, the New York Times, and Publishers Weekly. When not writing, C.L. enjoys relaxing with her husband and three children in sunny Florida and daydreaming of a world where people exercise in their sleep and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is a fat-burning food.
