New short story ~ Beneath the Knowe ~

Posted on February 6, 2014 by Anthea Sharp

I’m excited to announce the publication of a new short story! Beneath the Knowe is a faerie tale featuring an ancient Celtic setting, music, and the ageless denizens of the Bright Court. Expect to encounter some creatures familiar from the Feyland books in this 30 page story.

Can music overcome fey magic?

When the chieftain’s infant son is stolen away by the fey folk of the Bright Court, Maeve Donelly journeys beneath the faerie hill to save the child. Her only weapon is a simple pennywhistle, and the music running in her bard-gifted blood…

Beneath the Knowe is a short story of 7,000 words (approx. 30 pages), originally published in the NW Independent Writers Association Anthology Thirteen.
