If you’ve ever wondered about The Fairy Godmother Dilemma, Dragonspell gives you a perfect taste of what is waiting, although there is an extreme lack of Myles and all the snark his POV brings to the story. So that’s one fairy tale temporarily on hold while Nerissa deals with a dragon, seven errant winds, and her DID.īecause if there’s one thing a fair godmother won’t tolerate, it’s an Unhappily Ever After. Her DID has attracted the attention of some very powerful winds bent on gaining their freedom-and they aren’t above using her DID to gain it. Instead, she has to track down her runaway DID-Damsel in Distress-who may or may not have been kidnapped by a dragon.Ī dragon who happens to be a close, personal friend.īut time is running out.

Nerissa should have been getting ready to celebrate another successful Happily Ever After.

(How’s that for specific?) And goes into a bit of the background of Pickle-Prick et al.Ī fairy godmother can never catch a break. This is the story that predates Catspell by a bit. Reading order is: Dragonspell, Catspell, Firespell, Applespell, Frogspell, Trollspell.) (The actual writing order–as opposed to reading order–was Firespell, Frogspell, Catspell, Applespell, Trollspell, Dragonspell. ? At least, that’s how The Fairy Godmother Dilemma series worked for me. Trollspell is a retelling of East o’the Sun, West o’the Moon and the final story in The Fairy Godmother Dilemma series.You’re never truly done with a series until you’ve written the prequel. Now it’s up to Nerissa to help Mara outwit a troll princess, defend her from a clowder of cats bent on revenge, and bring this fairy tale to its happy conclusion.īut there’s one danger to Mara’s happily ever after that even Nerissa can’t protect her from: Mara, herself. But before Mara’s stony fate can be avoided and Nerissa can declare that they all lived happily ever after, disaster strikes. Then Mara meets an enchanted great white bear and discovers that there’s more to life than power and ruling a fallen empire. Unfortunately, neither of them is sure exactly what that is. Having just learned that Mara either has to find her happily ever after or risk becoming a garden ornament, Nerissa is determined to help Mara find her heart’s desire. It turns out that a fairy godmother has only so many chances to help a DID (Damsel in Distress) find her happily ever after before the girl’s fate is sealed in stone.
