Faytte

As Halloween draws near, Qwyrk and company are abruptly reminded of just how screwed-up everything can get. Qwyrk and Holly are literally being driven apart by magical forces they don’t understand, and their friends are in disarray. Then Holly goes missing and Qwyrk loses something else that’s almost as important, while the behind-the-scenes scheming comes to the fore at last. And who is the mysterious, ancient figure in red that seems to know all and see all, but annoyingly, won’t talk about it?

Traitors abound, old friends return, sides will be picked, and the final battle between good and evil will rage. To stop the actual end of the world from happening, Qwyrk might have to make a decision that will change her life forever.

Faytte is the final book in a series of four novels about the comic misadventures of a group of misfits at the edge of normal reality in modern northern England, a world of shadows, Nighttime Nasties in a bakery, a mysterious key, every horrid monster you can imagine, an abundance of sarcasm, and the answers to all the questions.

Oh, and Qwyrk is going to definitively prove that she’s not an elf. They’re just silly!

“Highly recommended… Tim Rayborn excels in crafting a fitting conclusion to his series. The action is fun and unpredictable, the characters multifaceted, and the plot evolves some satisfyingly unexpected twists that will keep prior fans and newcomers engrossed.”

~ D. Donovan, Midwest Book Review

 

Praise for Qwyrk:

“I liked this book a great deal! Charming and funny, the characters are delightful, and it’s scary exactly where it should be. I wouldn’t have missed it for anything.”

~ Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn

 

Praise for Lluck:

“Qwyrk and Jilly are back, on a new crusade to save a boy named Lluck who is having some rather bad luck in Leeds. Once more evil forces are on the move, and an unlikely alliance of Otherworldly beings and mortals are the only defense. The worldview is wacky, the plot line is twisty, the dialogue is a demented fruitcake of British humor, and you won’t be able to stop turning the pages…”

~ Diana L. Paxson, author of Sword of Avalon

 

Praise for Chantz:

“There’s never a dull moment when it comes to the lives of Qwyrk and Jilly, and Chantz continues to perform and enchant in new ways as we discover more about them and their friends. Readers will dive into another page-turning adventure full of not only myth and magic, but whole cauldrons full of wit and heart!”

~ Laura Tempest Zakroff, author of Visual Alchemy and Weave the Liminal
