  Faerie can't lie . . . or can they? 
  Much has changed since autumn, when Kelley Winslow learned she was a Faerie princess, fell in love with changeling guard Sonny Flannery, and saved the mortal realm from the ravages of the Wild Hunt. Now Kelley is stuck in New York City, rehearsing Romeo and Juliet and missing Sonny more with every stage kiss, while Sonny has been forced back to the Otherworld and into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the remaining Hunters and Queen Mabh herself.  
  When a terrifying encounter sends Kelley tumbling into the Otherworld, her reunion with Sonny is joyful but destined to be cut short. An ancient, hidden magick is stirring, and a dangerous new enemy is willing to risk everything to claim that power. Caught in a web of Faerie deception and shifting allegiances, Kelley and Sonny must tread carefully, for each next step could topple a kingdom . . . or tear them apart.  
  With breathtakingly high stakes, the talented Lesley Livingston delivers soaring romance and vividly magical characters in darklight, the second novel in the trilogy that began with wondrous strange.

  The Wounded - The Arrow You...

  Philip Jose Farmer

  “The Wounded” by Philip José Farmer is a sly, imaginative twist on love, pain, and the unseen things that shape our lives. At first glance, the narrator looks like a mysterious musician drifting through high-society gatherings, but the truth behind his “profession” is far stranger. He moves among the wealthy, the lonely, and the broken — not to heal them, but to give them the very wound that will change them forever. When one woman discovers who he really is, she refuses to let him disappear, and suddenly the hunt turns personal. 
  Farmer explores how people use their wounds, hide from them, or let them define who they are. The story blends humor, irony, psychology, and fantasy into something that feels modern, thoughtful, and surprisingly emotional. It asks a powerful question: is pain something inflicted on us… or something we choose to cultivate? 
  Philip José Farmer was one of the boldest voices in mid-century science fiction. He pushed boundaries with big ideas, layered characters, and stories that mixed satire, myth, and emotional intensity. Winner of multiple Hugo Awards, Farmer was never afraid to experiment, whether he was reinventing legends, questioning morality, or exploring the strange corners of human nature. “The Wounded” shows why his work still resonates — it’s clever, unsettling, and unforgettable.
