Are there fairies in any of the books?



     I want to answer a question I was asked about the characters of the series? Someone asked are there any fairies? Yes, but not as main characters. They are a variety of spiritual beings the main character encounters. There is a chapter where some are encountered but it is in a later book of the series.

   If you are asking if there’s an entire book about them in this series. No, there isn’t. The main character encounter many different type of spiritual being and mythical beings and creatures, everything from Minotaurs to centaurs. I didn’t take the outline of my stories from modern literature nor the Middle Ages. I researched many different ancient literature to find out what was written about fairies and other spiritual beings.

Usually when an author say they didn’t include a character in their work it is taken as the author doesn’t like the genre or characters, in my case I have nothing at all against them. As a child I have read many books featuring them. Just as I have read many books features many different mythological beings.

The ones featured in the series comes from the same places as the immortals. A spiritual world outside of our own’s. They are mention in two books “The Time before Time.” and “The Gathering.”

The fairy tales as we know them today didn’t come into existence until about the 13th to 14th century, which is why the clothing are always medieval Europe. Prior stories about faeries were much more gruesome. I believe the Black Death may have had a hand in creating the fairy tales we know today. Perhaps people were wishing for something much better than every day life was delivering. This is my theory. I haven’t found any concrete evidence as this was the reason they were invented. I drew the conclusion from what happening when most were created.

    The Black Death was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia and peaking in Europe in the years 1346–1353. Although there were several competing theories as to the etiology of the Black Death, analysis of DNA from victims in northern and southern Europe published in 2010 and 2011 indicates that the pathogen responsible was the Yersinia pestis bacterium, probably causing several forms of plague.


So as you see can why such stories may had became so popular during this time period and continued until today. I know this was a frightful era to have lived in. And I think some dealt with it by creating magical worlds free of the plague. I am aware there are accounts predating the 13th and 14th century speaking of fairies. Some were good and some were downright evil. Such as the Native American “Water Babies, ”  The story is much older than the site says but the link is provided to give a general idea of what a bad fairy maybe like. Every culture has their version of them both good and bad.

    Oh, okay, I can deal with them if they are just something Ana encounters like the Minotaur and centaurs and a host of other supernatural creatures. I thought they were going to be made into main characters.

    • Thank you Savannah for your comment. I thought it was best to answer the question due to receiving several inquiries on the subject of fairies. Although, they are mentioned in several books, like

      The Time before Time

      since they are immortal beings and comes from the same spiritual world as the other immortals. However, there’s a stand alone book about them but it is not a part of this series.

    Saved as a favorite, I really like your site!


  7. For those of you who asked me about fairies as you know it would be difficult to write about ancient Erin or Ireland without including fairies, leprechauns and other mythological creatures. So there are fairies mentioned in the book “King Eochaidh, the Horse Warrior.”


  8. Another books that mentioned fairies is the Immortal Lover (revised)
