Melior the Wisewoman lives in the woods near the Vale of Rollendri. When her companion and mentor, Old Agg, dies, she is approached by the denizens of the Faerie kingdom, who tell her that she is in great danger--that a barbaric King called Gorangon is on his way hence with an army to claim the entire shire as part of his kingdom. Melior is uncomfortable and afraid to listen, for Agg told her the Faefolk are amoral and not to be trusted...but the King with his warband and iron sword is equally fearsome, if not even worse . Reluctantly, she agrees to let the Fae help her against the might of Gorangon, using old Earth-Magic to turn his men into standing stones.
But what will the use of such powerful sorcery and the tricksy devices of the Faefolk mean for Melior herself?
Based on the famous legend of the Rolllright Stones, the anckient stone circle on the Oxfordshire/Warwickshire border.
A short story of approximately 8500 words in the IN A SILVER SEA series of re-told British folktales.
