I’ve yet to find a story with both fey and elven races. Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good challenge. So when I started outlining Til the Final Feather Falls, I knew I wanted to find a way to incorporate both. I am always trying to redefine the status quo and in my experience elves have always been classified as sophisticated, kind, and wise. I didn’t want some regular run of the mill elves, I wanted something new and exciting. Which is why I made the elves tragically evil.

Even the wisest person in the world can choose to use their knowledge for evil, that fact was the inspiration for the elves in my story. The mountain elves, whose land borders the kingdom of Luekoness, were once fey. And while fey live for hundreds of years, some wanted more. These fey turned to the dark moon for immortality. Once every hundred years, the moon is closest and amplifies any magic the elves use. 

Every century they perform the ritual and are rewarded with a revived immortality. But meddling with dark moon magic comes at a cost, their very souls. They give up their souls to become hollow and emotionless. The consequences are monumental but the elves are power hungry, so they ignore the warning signs. They blame their cruel actions on the need to keep their race alive. 

When Casimir and Lacie first meet the elves, they know something is off about them. But elven secrets have been heavily guarded. Not much is initially known. So when things go south, Cas and Lacie book it out of the forest. Only to encounter the elves later when they are forced to deal with the consequences… 

So what is the difference between elves and fey in Til the Final Feather Falls? Well, fey live only a few hundred years, while elves live for thousands. While fey have a moral compass, elves are obsessed with immortality: how to get it and how to keep it. But this is just a glimpse into the wonderful world of Til the Final Feather Falls.

One of my favorite parts of Til the Final Feather Falls is the Lunar Eclipse Ball scene. It’s haunting yet alluring. So much happens, all building to one epic conclusion that leads into book two. Don’t worry, it’s an emotionally comfortable conclusion… Though it does have a nice twist that will draw you into book two. You do not want to miss this series, it’s guaranteed to pull you in and keep you wondering.
