The Mounds have collapsed and everything and everyone that Lugh, Champion of the Sidhe has ever known are gone forever.  Or are they? In this second novella in The Champion of the Sidhe series, the story picks up after the devastating Collapse of the magical fey Realm called the Mounds depicted in the first book, "End of the World."End of the World (Champion of the Sidhe urban fantasy series)With the assistance of his loyal Scribe Willem, Lugh has figured out that a glimmer of hope exists in saving his people, the Sidhe.  His noble campaign entails finding magical artifacts that the original creator of the Fey Realm, Danu, used in order to not only set up the very first Realm, but subsequently the Mounds after the first Realm collapsed.  Now that the Mounds have followed a tragic suit, Lugh hopes to use the knowledge of Danu the  All-Mother from ancient journals she left behind, as well as embarking in a huge search for all of the artifacts whose existence could well be anywhere.Lugh's crusade takes him to England; a dangerous place for Fey, full of wizards that would not hesitate to impose harm in order to exploit their magic. But he has tracked down the first of the magical artifacts he needs in order to rebuild the Realm and there is no turning back now.As luck would have it, Lugh meets an enchanting creature named Ariel that could very well help him to secure the artifact.  She is blonde, she is beautiful, and she seems to respond very well to Lugh's seduction as he tries to influence her to help him in his quest.  But appearances can be deceiving and Lugh may end up getting more than he bargained for.I am loving this series that S. A. Archer and S. Ravynheart have dreamed up and I do not think you'll be disappointed in these stories.  I am really looking forward to the next book!Defender of Magic (Champion of the Sidhe urban fantasy series)
