For Shade, a chance meeting with a powerful Teleen faery warrior-who wields electrical currents and blue fires along his skin- has her joining him on a treacherous mission for the good Seelie Faerie Court across the land of Faerie. Magic and malice abound and nothing is what it really seems to be.

The evil Unseelie Queen and her treacherous allies are around every corner... as Shade makes her way across the breathtaking landscapes of the world of Faerie, which exists alongside the mundane human world.

History of Fire
A Dark Faerie Tale # 5
Blurb:
No one knows the secrets he keeps.

No one knows of the worlds that exist right alongside ours. 

Benton is human, but he walks the line between two worlds: the mundane and the supernatural; the commonplace and the extraordinary. As a rare Fire Elemental Warlock, he finds himself in trouble more often than he cares to admit. It doesn't help that his sister is a Faery Queen of the Summer Seelie Court.

This is Benton's story as he makes his way between the mortal world and a world where magic reigns. Do you dare follow? Do you dare see what lurks just beyond the edge of perception?

Can be read as a new series starter ~ Elemental Fire ~ You do not have to read the previous books in this series to enjoy this one.

Without Armor
(A Dark Faerie Tale Series Companion #4)
Blurb:
The Unseelie are up to no good…
My name is Benton, and I hunt the darkest of creatures in existence.

Especially when they get unruly and try to invade my home, the human realm.

Betrayal, broken hearts and uncharted magic…I never saw it coming.
*****************************************************

A Dark Faerie Tale # 6
Blurb:
When detective Hank Snowdon started noticing strange piles of ash throughout Portland, he took it upon himself to investigate further with his unusual but dedicated partner, Luci.


Traveling through the decaying factory district where most of the bizarre ash occurrences materialized, he found there was more to the sudden manifestations than met the eye. Testing this peculiar ash, he discovered that they were in fact…human! 

Sort of… 

Confronted by a warrior named Benton, who has the ability to disintegrate other beings with his flaming sword, Hank’s world continues to spiral away from reality. Especially when he inadvertently discovers a whole new world, unknown to most of humankind…along with the surprising realization that he is inescapably tied to this new and magical land. 

Discover a new take on Alexia Purdy’s Dark Faerie Tales series…one from the point of view of the “normal” human world! 


This story can be enjoyed as a stand alone but should be read after History of Fire (A Dark Faerie Tale #5) to avoid spoilers. This is considered book #6

*****************************************************

Legends of Fire
A Dark Faerie Tale #7
Blurb:
Some secrets were never meant to be exposed to the light of the world.

When the Raven Faery Queen’s brother is cursed and in danger of losing his wings and mind, she calls in specialized mercenaries for the Seelie Faery Court—Benton and Rylan (also known as Soap). They immediately discover this might not be a cut and dry mission. 

Benton is reminded of a promise he vowed to keep and uncovers an important tie to his family’s past. But the secrets go beyond his family and lead to the real reason Elementals, like Benton, are being hunted and are almost extinct. Soap also discovers a link to his past that threatens his magic and reveals deadly truths about the Land of Faerie and the two divided courts. 

In the midst of it all, Benton and Rylan are tasked with finding Zena, a human girl with the gift of The Sight, before she is captured by an obsessed bounty hunter who only hunts humans with specific and unusual abilities for nefarious reasons. 

Some say you should never trust a faery…

*****************************************************
A Dark Faerie Tale #8

Blurb:
Fate is coming.

When the magic of Faerie fractures, the land demands the ultimate price. Hearts will shatter and alliances will be crushed, but one power might just save them all.

Follow your favorite Dark Faerie Tale characters once more in another world shattering adventure for the all-consuming quest for power and magic.



*****************************************************


Shade lost everything to save the Land of Faerie, but she was never one to conform to anything.

Learning her role as a new Ancient of Faerie, Shade struggles with the loss of her humanity. As she navigates her new life, it reveals some hard truths; she’s an anomaly, an aberration of faery laws. How does a halfling become an all-powerful Ancient? Why does her magic remain unaffected? Why does her heart still ache with longing for her family? The courts are asunder, turning on each other as the human world threatens to swallow the magical land. Shade is unwilling to help but must face a difficult choice between her family, or her duties. Will she find a way to return to the ones she loves for good or fade into the oblivion of Faerie forever?



*****************************************************

In the dead of winter, Jonna is saved from the cold by an unlikely ally. She's determined to rescue her family from the clutches of an ancient witch who rules the desolate frost lands and turns trespassers into statues of ice.

This is a companion story in the same world as A Dark Faerie Tale Series and can be read at any time.

  13. After reading the first two books, I have come to the conclusion that Shade is a sniffling, crying, self-centered fraidy cat who hides from battle the minute it appears. She lets the others fight for her while hiding behind trees. Sorry, just trying to be honest. She turns on her faucet of tears every time she becomes upset. That being said, I will retain final judgment until I read the rest of the books.

    1. I think I would hide too if I wasn't yet trained. But she does get trained later on, which I hope I would get in time too :)

    1. I reserve the right to add to Shade's story, but for the most part, that's it. However, the Elemental Fire series continues where Ever Wrath left off and will continue to show Shade cameos throughout. :)

    1. Hello, Yes there will be another book in the series though I'm still deciding if it'll be done in 2018 or later. By Benton's sister, do you mean Shade or Anna? Shade's story will continue with book 9 but Anna's might turn into a spin off series. Thank you for reading the series, it's so good to hear you enjoyed it. Stay tuned!

  29. Just read all of these books back to back, which I NEVER do, and I LOVED them! Th as t is until I got to the very last page... omg! I was devastated! I'm not always one for a happily ever after if it's not warranted but wow! After all they went through... I cried! Is that the end of the series? Please tell me it's not! Please tell me Shade has one more (the biggest) fight in her! She can make life in Faerie right, harmonious and balanced. I always thought the best way for that to happen was to have all the Ancients swapped out with other characters like Benton for the unseelie castle and Arthas? Anyway I don't care as long as it's not quite the end please?!!

  30. I just finished book 8 and went to find book nine to learn it isn't out yet!! Any news for the next book? I haven't read a series this fast in years. What a gripping saga!
