Extended description

Mortal women have always fascinated gods - and wind-spirits have carried news of a beautiful princess to the sun-god, Allyon. But his servant, sent to investigate, falls in love and defies his master. Narrated by the Wind-priest Ches, who inserts a few personal comments, this is the story of the Morning Star.

(Set in the same universe as "The Bear Prince," this (worksafe) story of lovers is a fantasy folktale for slightly older ears.)

Review by: Lynn E. O'Connacht on April 02, 2013 : star star star star
Well worth a read! McCoy has a wonderful flair for telling fairytales that read familiar and yet are unlike any I've seen. I loved the asides and the tone of this. It was, as another reviewer said, "creepy in the way that good fairytales are". It was a wonderful, intense read.

Creepy in the way that good fairy tales are, this one is believable as a real tale, old and full of warnings. Very nicely executed.

A fairy tale with a twist. I look forward to reading the universe in which the stories are told.
