A Wish…
At twenty years old, Skyla had aged out of the orphanage. She knew that she didn’t want to stay living in her pathetic poor town as a beggar on the streets. When she was a child, a storyteller told her about a Fae male in a cottage who could grant wishes.It may be a foolish childhood fairytale, but Skyla decided to make the dangerous trek into the Fae woods in search of him. As a now homeless female, she had nothing left to lose but her life in search of this Fae.
A Desolate…
Kierian has lived in isolation for centuries. As a former Fae warrior who fought in the war against humans three hundred years ago, he only wants to be left alone. Aside from the wishing cat, whom he has a grudge against and who lives with him, the only other being who visits him is his former brother-in-arms. No one else has come knocking at his door in decades.
A Bond…
When Skyla finally finds the cottage while on the brink of starvation, she does not expect the Fae male to slam the door in her face. Now, she is desperate to do anything to convince him to let her stay. Meanwhile, Kierian’s quiet life is being turned upside down by this fiery red-haired human female. He doesn’t have an answer to why he’s letting this stranger live with him, but for some unknown reason, he refuses to kick her out. #kierian #fatedmates #grumpysunshine #strangerstolovers #nfschmitt
In 'Kierian' by N.F. Schmitt, readers are transported into a fantasy realm where the complexity of love intertwines with mythical beings. The story unfolds through the unique relationship of Skyla, a human girl with a fierce spirit, and Kierian, a Fae warrior burdened by his past. Their initial interactions present a classic Grumpy x Sunshine trope, where Kierian's gruff demeanor clashes with Skyla's fiery persistence. This dynamic drives the narrative, exploring themes of vulnerability, growth, and acceptance. As Skyla's quest to find the Fae who can grant her a wish leads her into the depths of the Fae woods, readers are drawn into a rich tapestry of lore and the challenges faced by her character. On the other hand, Kierian's reluctance to open his heart to a stranger introduces a poignant tension that keeps readers hooked. With elements like Forced Proximity and Strangers to Lovers, the plot evolves into a tale of fated connections. The duality of their worlds—one of the human struggles and the hidden magic of the Fae—creates a compelling backdrop that enhances the story's depth. As the bond between them strengthens, so do the stakes of their journey, making for a gripping read that resonates deeply with fans of fantasy romance. Filled with enchanting elements, 'Kierian' serves not just as a love story but offers insights into healing and the transformative power of companionship.
