Excerpt: Donkey and Mule

Posted On August 17, 2018

“For the next thousand years, Aurel women bore the children of their forest lovers. Their half-faery daughters were lovely, but they were barren, as all hybrids are. This made the women sad, so they spurned their forest lovers yet again.”

Isobel had always wanted to change that part of the story. As a child, she’d begged Bess to tell it differently, but Bess said she couldn’t.

“A horse and a donkey make a mule. No amount of wishing can make the mule bear a foal. It’s no different for women and faeries.”
