The Poet

<p>As the last thunderstorm of summer ravages France's Forest of Fontainebleau a tiny lavender faerie seeks shelter inside a hollow oak. It is not long however until Fey discovers she is not alone.</p><p>Her accidental encounter with an enormous frightening bat on a solitary journey to the fabled City of Lights has her bargaining for her life by granting him a wish he idly makes-a wish which sends him from a state of spiritual purity to the messy complicated realm of humanity a transition he is ill-equipped to deal with. Taken in by a kind farmer the transformed being who calls himself Paolo learns to cope with the moral complexity of being a young man in contemporary society while Fey is left to cope with the loss of both her magic and the chance to become handfasted with the noble chivalrous Guiscard.</p><p>Meanwhile Yasmine a matchmaker playing a reckless game has just opened a Pandora's Box that will unleash Paolo's heart and determine Fey's destiny.</p>
