>Wielder Kara Tremain and former Dog Allan Garrett have seized control of the new Nexus created at the distant temple known as the Needle, the stronghold of the White Cloaks. Kara intends to use the Needle's Nexus to heal the major distortions that threaten to shake their entire world apart. But the Needle is no safe haven. Father Dalton's followers have begun to rebel, starting riots and creating unrest. The tensions escalate beyond control when Father Dalton declares he's had a vision in which the Needle is attacked from the north by dogs and from the south by snakes; a vision that ends with the quickening of the distortions called the Three Sisters to the north... and the annihilation of reality itself!

What if the fae were still here, living among us? Perhaps living in secret, doing their best to pass for human? Or perhaps their existence is acknowledged, but they're still struggling to fit in. How have they survived? Are they outcasts clinging to the edges of society, or do their powers ensure success in the mortal realm? Here are fourteen fabulous tales-ranging from humor to dark fantasy-that explore how the creatures of fae are fitting into the modern world.From a mortal who offers to do internet marketing for Oberon...to a woman bent on reclaiming her baby from the Queen of the fae...to a dryad grove menaced by urban expansion...to a Selkie in need of a new home and career...these are original looks at how the world of the imagination can survive and perhaps even thrive in the everyday mortal lands.
