Enchanted Skies: Mythical Creatures and Fantasy Adventures for a Cause

I’m so excited to say the fourth Enchanted Anthology is out today! Enchanted Skies brings together ten authors to share tales of air magic and flying mythical creatures, blending fantasy, folklore and mythology for a spellbinding collection of stories that is sure to enchant!

As with all of the Enchanted Anthologies, this edition is raising funds for an environmental charity. All profits from Enchanted Skies will go to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief fund, to support communities affected by the devastating effects of hurricanes and tropical storms by providing shelter, food and comfort. If you enjoy reading fantasy stories filled with adventure, humour, magic and romance, why not pick up a copy of Enchanted Skies and help us to raise funds for a cause that’s close to our hearts?

High-flying adventure, magical mayhem, and new horizons are in the air.
Take to the stormy skies on the backs of dragons or the ancient thunderbirds. In this clean fantasy anthology, you’ll soar into fantastic realms and meet creatures drawn from myth and legend. A hippogriff, Pegasus, harpies, and so much more.
Inspired by tales from around the world, these short stories will propel you into adventures of murder, mystery, and vengeance. These award-winning, bestselling, and emerging authors will lift and inspire you and leave you wishing you had wings of your own.
Fans of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson & The Olympians series and Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology will adore this collection, where every encounter is a battle for survival and a test of wills.
All profits from this anthology will go to the Red Cross to support hurricane relief.


When Skies Darken by Lyndsey Hall

Ayla Willowbark is the eldest princess of the Sylph Queendom, a territory known for its air-magic wielding fae and barren beauty. In the depths of grief, having been widowed in a vicious attack by their neighbours, the Celeste, Ayla bids the Sylph settlement farewell and moves to a remote windmill to rediscover herself.

When a handsome, injured stranger turns up on her doorstep in the midst of a terrible storm, she does the only decent thing and takes him (and his horse) in. Isolated and forced together by circumstances, it isn’t long before romance begins to bloom between Ayla and the charming Lord Egan.

But when the Celeste return to finish what they started, will Ayla lose everything once more, or can love triumph over evil?


We hope you enjoy our stories! If you do read Enchanted Skies, we’d absolutely love if you could leave us an honest review on Amazon, they help new readers to decide whether to pick up a book, and the more readers we find the more money we raise for charity.

Thanks friends,

Lyndsey
