Folklore has always fascinated me, especially the intricate rules surrounding the fae. One of the most important things I’ve learned is to never say 'thank you' directly—it implies a debt, and the fae love collecting those. Instead, I’d say something like, 'I appreciate your kindness,' which keeps things neutral. Iron is another big one; carrying a small iron charm, like a nail or a horseshoe, can ward off unwanted attention.
Avoid giving your full name, too. Nicknames or titles are safer because names hold power in their world. If you ever find yourself in their territory, don’t eat or drink anything they offer—'Persephone’s pomegranate' vibes, right? And if you sense mischief, turn your clothes inside out. It sounds silly, but old tales swear it confuses them long enough for you to escape. The fae aren’t inherently evil, but they’re unpredictable, and respecting their rules is the best defense.
The fae thrive on loopholes, so precision matters. If you make a promise, word it carefully—'I’ll try to visit' instead of 'I’ll come tomorrow.' They’ll hold you to literal terms. I keep rowan wood on me; folklore says it repels their magic. And if you suspect a fae is nearby, don’t react to pranks like misplaced objects or whispers. Acknowledging it invites more mischief.
Polite but distant is the way to go. Compliment their world without curiosity—'Your home is lovely' but never ask how it works. Curiosity binds you to them. Oh, and never step into a fairy ring, even for a photo. Those circles aren’t just pretty mushrooms; they’re doorways.
Growing up near woods filled with local legends, I picked up a few tricks for dealing with the fae. First, never accept gifts without leaving something in return—even a pebble or a strand of hair can balance the exchange. Mirrors or shiny objects distract them; they’re drawn to reflections, so carrying a small mirror might buy you time if things get weird.
Staying quiet about plans is key too. If you boast about outsmarting them, they’ll take it as a challenge. And if you hear laughter or music from nowhere? Walk away without looking back. My grandma swore by sprinkling salt at doorways, though I’m not sure if that’s more for spirits than fae. Either way, it doesn’t hurt to be cautious.

Lily Forte has known her mate since she was born. The Fae Prince, Aolis, realized she was his mate while she was in utero. He has waited patiently for Lily to grow up and reach her 18th birthday so she and her wolf will recognize him as her mate.
However, when Lily turns 18, even though she feels the mate bond, she doesn't respond to it, asking Aolis for time. He has always been like a brother, like the other sons of the Guardians. Now, she's supposed to feel differently for Aolis because her wolf says he's her mate?
Not only that, but she has never dated another man. She has no idea what it is like to be kissed by someone. Most she-wolves have at least some experience before they meet their mates, but everyone has stayed away from her, knowing her mate had already identified her as his.
On a fateful night, she is kissed by another wolf, and realizes that Aolis felt her betrayal. He gives her one week to decide if she wants him. If not, he will find another mate and take over as King.
Lily, not realizing the severity of Aolis's ultimatum, doesn't arrive in Araphrya, Aolis's home, until after his deadline. When she does, she realizes he has already left to find his mate. Lily rushes to find him and interrupts his wedding.
Lily begs him for another chance but the slight toward the fae causes a rift and war begins. Lorelai wants Aolis and if she can't have him, no one can.
Can Lily convince Aolis to choose her as the Queen of his land and his heart, to stand beside him against the dark fae or will Aolis choose a mate and leave Lily alone with her regrets?
