The Danu Cycle #1
Gryffynhall
Only three things matter to all good fey; fighting, festivities and fornication.
Eamon mac Aeveen is the youngest child of the king of the fey; heartless and cold even by fey standards. He leads his fiann as they stalk Tir nAill and Innisfail to end threats to the balance. Their oath is strong and their bond stronger.
What do you do when you find out your life is half a lie? Well, one-quarter a lie, anyway.
Niamh O’Callaghan was a normal girl. Or, so she thought. Near death, she is whisked to a world she’d forgotten, protected by two tall boys who would lay down their lives for her. Raven-haired Killian wants her heart. Copper-haired Lachlan wants to keep it safe.
The only thing stronger than your oath…
Finding herself in some small-scale version of a perverted Hogwarts, Niamh learns to fight, weave magic, and not fall for Killian’s blue eyes. Because fey are not like humans and there’s nothing normal in falling for one.
…is the power of Her heart.
When Eamon and Niamh cross paths, there seems to be some other force at play. Niamh can’t stand the cocky prince and he wouldn’t deign to be with a halfbreed. But, neither of them can seem to stay away.
In faery, danger lurks in the light as well as the shadows.
With the rise of an old evil, Niamh’s arrival is timely; she may be just the thing to put a stop to Dwendardian before he returns to his full strength. But, is putting Killian and Nimah’s budding romance in a caravan with Eamon really a good idea?

About the author
Elizabeth Stevens
77 books367 followersWriter. Reader. Perpetual student. Nerd.
I started out writing fantasy. But, I like to write anything, honestly. These days, I mainly stick to YA and there's always at least a sprinkling of romance, if not a 'whoops, I dropped the whole packet in'. Almost all my books are set in my home state of South Australia, either in real or fictional places - gotta write what you know - with Netherfield being the only current exception.
Like most writers, I love to read. Although, time for reading at the moment is hard to come by. When I'm not too busy writing, I'm usually reading a number of authors. Some of my favourites are Rick Riordan, Jane Austen, Kate Forsyth, Cecilia Dart-Thornton, Kasie West, John Flanagan, Terry Pratchett, Isobelle Carmody, Christina Benjamin, Emily Rodda, and many more.
I'm an avid fan of Marvel, DC, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Red Dwarf, IT Crowd, and pretty much anything similar. I've recently discovered Richard Ayoade's Travel Man and it's brilliant. I love watching soccer (go Gunners) and thoroughly look forward to seeing Eurovision every year. Celebrity crushes include Anna Kendrick and Chris Evans, because they are wonderful.
I live in Adelaide with my husband and a menagerie of animals – a cat reliving her (sixth) youth, a cowardly Beagle-Cavalier who thinks he’s smaller than he is, one meeping guinea pig who thinks any plastic bag has his greens in, two chickens who are terrified of free-ranging, and a turtle with a penchant for sticking her head up her filter pipe.
I have a Master of Arts (Writing) from Swinburne University of Technology. I also have a Master of Arts (Editing and Publishing) at University of Southern Queensland and, am now working towards my PhD. I also hope to one day undertake a PhD in Creative Writing - perpetual student, am I.
I also organise the Sleeping Dragon Emerging Fantasy Writers’ Collective writing group. The group self-published their anthology Tales from the Sleeping Dragon in 2012.

This book is perfect for everyone who wants a little mystical in their life.
Lucky enough to have read before publishing, and even though I finished a while ago, scenes and character keep coming back into my thoughts and I want to read it all over again.
The fay are well portrayed by their classic mythology and the small scale perverted Hogwarts is just the perfect setting for the introduction for this amazing world.
