Excerpt:

Easing the door open, he stepped outside. The whine and buzz of hungry insects swarmed around him for a second, then disappeared. Even insects knew better than to feast upon fae flesh, or at least this fae’s flesh.

Probably equal to the Erlking and Enders in age, power, and capability, Uberon, the deposed king of the Unseelie Court, was the second most dangerous living creature on Planet Earth while he deigned to visit.

“I wondered why you gave up the kingdom so easily,” came the dry remark from the most dangerous creature on Earth.

Uberon looked at the spiral ivory horn and the flashing opal eyes. “The kingdom was Marog’s and he is gone. I have no further need of the crown.”
The sleek head swung to look at the dim cabin, then back at Uberon. “What have you need of then?”

“Her.”

The unicorn chuckled, but Uberon did not smile. “I never thought to see the day when mighty Uberon whose veins flow with ice succumbed to his libido.”

“Mate,” he corrected.

“Mate?” The razor point of the horn bobbed. A cloven hoof stamped once. “You were already once mated.”

“Aye.”

“The fae get but one true mate each, if that.”

“Aye.”

The unicorn’s laughter rang out, inaudible to the ears of mundane humans who did not believe in such mythical creatures. “You want us to transform her for you.”

“If you won’t, I will.”

“Do you really think you have that power?”

“Aye.” Uberon knew he did. All those thousands of years of scholarly immersion gave him the knowledge to access and exploit the power he’d need to effect the metamorphosis necessary for his mate to live in his world. Whether she would consent to it was another question, and not one that bothered him all that much.

The unicorn eyed the calm, assured male standing unafraid before him and understood that the former king of the Unseelie Court most likely did have the power to convert his little human into fae.

“We have never had two moon-borns at the same time. They are catalysts. The result may be unpredictable and possibly catastrophic.”

“She need not be moon-born, merely fae. She has her own power.”

“A human with power? How extraordinary.”

“Bring her to us at the dark of the moons.”

“No. I will bring her to you when she consents.”

“You dare defy us?”

“I will persuade her; but she will come at her decision, not yours.”

The beast shook his heavy mane. “You play dangerous games, Uberon.”


His lips curled in a smile that offered neither joy nor humor. “I’m a dangerous fellow and I don’t fear you.”

And that, the unicorn decided, was the problem. Uberon respected little and feared nothing.

Love this line: His lips curled in a smile that offered neither joy nor humor. “I’m a dangerous fellow and I don’t fear you.”

In many books I read, the powerful and dangerous hero has a need to throw his weight around. Uberon doesn't. He's badass without the alpha-jerk personality.

Discovering that myths and legends really are based in fact - great premise!

Love that the Unseelie is the 2nd most dangerous creature on earth. I wonder what his mate will think when she finds out.

Corinne doesn't really pay too much attention to that aspect of Uberon.

I like how you characterize the unicorn -- its inaudible laugh and its voice.
