A race of tiny, magical beings lives on Earth today. They dwell in elaborate tree homes and mysterious underground sanctuaries. Because of an ancient dispute, however, humans are unaware of their hidden civilization. So says the author, James Priest, on the Podiobooks page for this stimulating audiobook. Does that sound like the Fey to you? It does to me which is why I thought you guys might be interested in this book. Let’s find out more.

They are kirins.

For thousands of years they lived in peace. But a deadly menace now threatens their existence. A party of daring explorers, led by the wise magician Speckarin, is sent on trained ravens to destroy an evil lurking a continent and an ocean away. Failure of this mission would mean death to the voyagers and the entire kirin race. But their success will depend on aid from a truly unexpected source, human beings.

Fly with these adventurers and witness today’s world as it has never before been seen. You’ll find yourself looking to the skies for this mystical race of beings, because maybe, just maybe . . .

The Spell of No’an is the first book of the KIRINS trilogy. Mary Logue, author of DANCING WITH AN ALIEN, SNATCHED, and numerous other books, says this about the work:

Having read all three books of James Priest’s wonderful trilogy, I have nothing but praise. The scope of this work, which takes us from the middle of North America across the Atlantic on the backs of birds to Stonehenge, is extraordinary. I enjoyed every moment I spent with the kirins. Priest’s work resembles LORD OF THE RINGS, but is more rooted in nature and gentler in tone.

Sounds good, doesn’t it? Now all I have to do is find time to listen to this as well as the other wonderful podcasts in my queue!
