Every good supporting character has a story of their own, but frequently these stories only live in the author's mind. Every once in a while, though, they make it onto the pages of an anthology. This delightful collection contains three short stories and a novella, each telling more about some favorite side characters in the Once Upon a Romance World. 'Round a Winter Table follows Baines and Dawlton as they part the veil into the mists in order to make a critical wager... moreEvery good supporting character has a story of their own, but frequently these stories only live in the author's mind. Every once in a while, though, they make it onto the pages of an anthology. This delightful collection contains three short stories and a novella, each telling more about some favorite side characters in the Once Upon a Romance World. 'Round a Winter Table follows Baines and Dawlton as they part the veil into the mists in order to make a critical wager. In Service of Spring details how Cady Woddsmith, the most valiant and chivalrous six year old ever, finally gets the chance to be a knight in truth. Beneath a Summer Sky is a sultry tale of how Queen Mab of the Fae meets a mortal man, and shows him more than he bargained for. And, last but not least, Merriweather's Tale tells the story of how Dame Fae Merriweather, through sorrow and joy, came to be tied to the royal house of Albion. With a chance to look into the past, as well as hints of what's to come in the future, this collection should please all fans of Once Upon a Romance. less
