Die Roten Ebenen sind heiß. Aber mein Feenkönig? Noch heißer. Irgendwie wurden wir von einem kriegerischen Klan von Vundi-Kriegern gefangen genommen. Klingt übel, oder? Aber sie behandeln uns als Gäste, und ich beginne, sie zu mögen, trotz der anhaltenden Gefahr, dass ich zum König hinter dem Berg verschleppt werde. Ich bemühe mich immer noch, das Winterreich zu erreichen und einen Weg zurück nach Hause zu finden.... bis die Hohepriesterin der Vundi enthüllt, dass ich vielleicht mehr Verbindungen zur Welt der Feen habe, als ich mir je vorgestellt hätte.

Der Feenkönig wächst mir ans Herz. Jede Berührung, jeder Blick und jede Nacht in seinen Armen schmelzen langsam meinen Widerstand.

Nun, die größte und furchterregendste Kreatur von allen - ein Feen-König - glaubt, dass ich seine Gefährtin bin. Er hat mich aus dem Kerker befreit, behält mich aber in seiner Nähe.
