Dacia Wolf & the Phouka's Curse


Book Description

Never accept a gift from a faerie. It seems like a simple rule to follow, but in your dreams, you don't always know what you're doing. When Kieran pressed the acorn into Dacia's palm and she didn't reject it, the game began. The acorn grew into a mighty oak, a tattoo covering her left arm. Now, she has until the last leaf of the tree falls to stop the curse, or she'll wind up trapped in Faerie forever. And, as if that isn't enough, her magic and emotions are wreaking havoc on Malcolm. Every day that he's near her, his craving grows. Even though he vowed to protect her, his dragon hungers for her blood. Mischief and mayhem are a faerie's favorite things, and watching the turmoil that grows between Dacia's guardians makes this game even more exciting to Kieran. Time is running out, but how do you stop a tree from being a tree?
