Kelsey in Ezleer

Kelsey is eighteen years old when, in a desperate attempt to get her mothers attention, she destroys the womans lifes work. With her gesture, she expects screams, outrages, a reaction that will finally prompt her mother to confrontation, but instead what she gets is only silence and abandonment.

Years later, the memory of her mother still lives in the meanders of her mind and in the painful echo that resonates in her heart, but life goes on and her work as a writer allows her to escape reality. Kelsey is convinced that she has achieved a certain stability until an encounter with a mysterious man catapults her into a magical world inhabited by fairies capable of transforming into animals and ruled by a queen to whom she seems to be bound by an ancient curse. The queens promise to help her find her mother seals the deal, and she has no other choice than to comply with the request in order to fulfil her end of the bargain. But the mission is difficult and dangerous, especially when Kelsey finds herself sharing it with the charming yet mysterious Prince Silas who seems to harbor more secrets than all the creatures around them...
