About this ebook
When magic sleeps, everything changes.
For as long as she can remember, Winnie Price has visited another world in her dreams, a magical fae realm caught up in a war of intrigue and sorcery. Where nature is all-powerful and a dark prince will do anything to save his dying clan. She thought this realm was pure imagination, until one midsummer’s eve when the owl who visits her window once a month transforms into a boy before her eyes. And not just any boy, the dark fae prince.
With his clan on the verge of extinction, Cathair O Cuana knows that his secret feelings for the human girl can never be more than fantasy. Caught between duty and emotion, he knows his responsibility to his people comes first. But when the magic sleeps and she sees his true form, the girl he yearns for finally feels within his reach—just as a traitor in the palace pushes the kingdom to the brink of war. Will disaster drive them apart or pull them together?
In a world where dreams, magic, and war collide, a human girl with a special ability and a fae prince with the weight of a kingdom on his shoulders must risk everything for a chance at happily ever after.

At first, I was a bit hesitant to finish reading this book (I thought I wasn't going to enjoy it) but I'm so glad I did finish it! I fell in love with this book and the two main characters! Full of magic, Fae and the romance *swoon*. Truly enjoyable book. Fae book readers, be sure to check this series out! Looking forward to When Magic Dares!

I thought I only got 1/4 of the book. it's a great....beginning. I was so excited to see Winnie join the faes, read about her life there, figured there'd be an adventure about the prophecy, about going after Ultan....but it just ended. it's a short story, with no ending.

Lacks description and details. More like a short story then a book. Author would find more success by possibly combining the stories. Over all good read.
