Piskie Sticks

From the author of Aevalorn Tales comes a dark fantasy story about doing the wrong thing to do right.

Maeree Emberbloom lives in a comfortable home on a quiet hill overlooking her hamlet of Pondaroak. But she has a problem: her magical shop is overrun with piskies. With her business suffering, Maeree is at a loss for what to do.

Gammond Brandyford, a young halfling widely regarded as a town menace, offers to "help" Maeree and sets out to capture one. Gammond, though, knows nothing about fae or the danger they represent.

Armed with only magicked trinkets and ancient lore, he heads into the woods on a moonlit night to recover Maeree’s stolen property. It might just be the last Pondaroak sees of him—thank goodness!—and, in so doing, find his place … even if that place isn’t Pondaroak.

Readers of Brandon Sanderson, Travis Baldtree, and S. L. Rowland will enjoy this light-hearted dark fantasy filled with magic, danger, and unexpected allies.
