Half Faerie
Daughter of Light Trilogy # 1
By- Heidi Garrett
Genre- YA Fantasy/Faerie Tales
She doesn’t believe in love, and she doesn’t believe in herself.
The crucible of her parents’ dark ambitions will forge her destiny.
Her consciousness will be transformed.
The journey will be epic.
Melia is an eighteen-year-old half faerie, half-mortal who longs to fly like the full-blood faeries. She also yearns for a life that's truly her own, which might prove more difficult than sprouting wings. Her faerie mother practices black magic, and her mortal father plots to bring war to the enchanted world. No matter how she tries to escape their long shadow, Melia is unable to distance herself from her parents’ obsessions.
After the half-faerie is accused of being her father's spy, her friend advises a trip to the Illustrator. The mysterious woman marks Melia's forehead with a strange emblem. She claims it will draw a young priest from distant lands who will come to the half-faerie's aid. Spooked rather than comforted, Melia dismisses the woman's words. Rather, she travels to the mortal world to confront her father.
Whimsical and edgy, Daughter of Light is a spinoff of the 14th century French fairy tale “Melusine.” A high fantasy with fairy tale elements and an intriguing cosmology, it's a great choice for readers who have loved Lord of the Rings.

Please tell us about yourself using 3 verbs, 1 quirk and a pop culture addiction
3 Verbs: Discover, Contemplate and Entertain
1 Quirk: When I get excited, I repeat myself. I’ll make the
same point over and over, without even realizing I’m doing it. It’s
embarrassing.
Pop Culture Addiction: Femail.com
Who do you consider
the most swoon-worthy man in the literary world? Aragon from Lord of the
Rings. How about on tv/in the movies? Christopher Plummer as Captain Von Trapp
in the Sound of Music. You see, since I have met my husband, men on page and
film simply cannot compete!
Top 3 Pet Peeves
My hearing is acute, so almost any kind of
constant/loud noise can set me on edge.
- When I go to the grocery for one of my food/drink staples—and they’re out!
- Spots/stains on clothes! My grandma was legally blind. I hated when she was dressed in clothes with spots/stains on them.
What’s the last song
you listened to?
Gosh, I just don’t keep up with music as much as I used to …
so I don’t know the name of the last song I listened to!
How do you come up
with character names?
I often start with an online name search. After I settle on
one or a few, I’ll play with spellings until I come up with a variant that
feels right. I also like to use interesting names of small towns. How do you
come up with novel titles? I try to think of something that will best describe
the whole story in the shortest amount of text.
