Together with her best friend – a mischievous pixie named Saarik – Zeena sets off to free Heidi the earth fairy, as well as to save the woods and the creatures of Earth.

    1. Zeena And The Dryad
    2. Zeena And The Gryphon

    Author

    Victoria Zigler

    Victoria Zigler is a blind vegan poet and children's author. Born and raised in the shadow of the Black Mountains of Wales, UK, she moved away from Wales three times: once to spend six months living in Alberta, Canada, the other times to spend a few years living near Hastings on the South-East coast of England, UK, each time returning to Wales. Now she lives in Wales again, along with a chinchilla named Mollie, a West Highland White Terrier named Lilie, a Cavapoo named Logan, a Hermann’s Tortoise named Artemis, and her Canadian husband, Kelly.Despite spending far too much time in hospital, and eventually losing her sight to Congenital Glaucoma, Victoria - or Tori, if you prefer - has been writing since she knew how, with no plans to stop any time soon. So far she has published 11 poetry books and 46 children’s books. Tori is also a contributor of the sci-fi and fantasy anthology Wyrd Worlds II, as well as the Poetry Treasures anthology. Additionally, her Hermann’s Tortoise, Artemis, was featured in both the Magnificent Pets Coloring Book For Children and the Magnificent Pets Mandala Coloring Book For Adults.Vegan due to both a love for animals and dairy allergy, as well as an Eclectic Pagan, Tori describes herself as a combination of Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter books: Hermione’s thirst for knowledge and love of books, combined with Luna’s wandering mind and alternative way of looking at the world. She has a wide variety of interests, designed to exercise both the creative and logical sides of her brain, and dabbles in them at random depending on what she feels like doing at any given time, but is most likely to be found playing with her petkids, curled up somewhere with a cup of tea and a book, or trying to keep one step ahead of those pesky typo fairies while writing her own books.

      Prologue

      The silver in Enid’s white and silver butterfly-like wings glinted in the sunlight as she landed on a low branch of the tree, sat down, and began arranging her white silk dress over her knees; taking care to arrange it just so. Then she used a hand to comb out her silver-blonde hair, so that it shimmered like white gold in the beam of sunlight that lanced through the trees, and shone directly on the spot where the little fairy sat.

      Finally satisfied, she looked around, startled to realize she was being watched.

      There was nothing special about the child who was watching her. The little girl looked no older than four or five years old. She was a plain thing, with straight brown hair and muddy brown eyes, wearing the simple brown woollen dress, grey woollen stockings and sturdy brown leather boots most little girls wore; her skin lightly tanned, like that of most humans who spent a lot of time outside.

      But something about the way she was staring made Enid feel uneasy. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but as she watched the little girl watching her, Enid had the strangest feeling that something bad was going to happen.

      Despite her unease, the little fairy smiled sweetly at the little girl, as if meeting her filled her heart with nothing but joy.

      What kind of fairy are you? the child asked, and when she spoke Enid realized at once that the little girl’s height had made her mistake her age; she couldn’t be as young as four.

      I’m an element fairy, Enid answered, watching the little girl cautiously. My name is Enid.

      Which one? the little girl asked. I’m Beth, she added as an afterthought.

      Nice to meet you, Beth, replied Enid, giving the little girl a friendly smile.

      What kind of fairy are you? Beth asked again. Are you the Air fairy? Or the Earth fairy?

      Neither of those, Enid told her, shaking her head.

      The fire fairy then? asked Beth.

      No, said Enid, shaking her head to emphasize the word.

      Then you must be the Water fairy, Beth said confidently.

      No, said Enid, shaking her head again. I’m the fifth element fairy; the Spirit fairy.

      There’s no such thing, Beth answered, folding her arms across her chest and glaring at Enid. "You can’t fool me.
