Dear Reader,
As a child, as you read or listened to those wonderful tales of princesses in towers, fairies bringing gifts to the new baby or princes fighting to save his one true love rom dragons, witches, or ogres, have you ever wondered what it would be like if all those wonderful and magical things in the fairy tales really did exist? I know I did. This is why when I decided to write fantasy I chose to write about some of the artifacts in the fairy tales written by the Brothers Grimm beginning with Snow White’s Magic Mirror.
But I knew I needed help to properly tell a story that would combine the world of today with the world the Brothers Grimm wrote about in their famous but also rather bleak and often gloomy stories. I asked a wonderful fellow writer, Patt Mihailoff, to help me blend today’s facts with yesterday’s fiction. Fortunately, she agreed, and P. K. Eden was born along with the first book in a three-book series about the Primogen Sentinels. The Sentinels defend the magical objects from fairy tales and folklore across all seven continents from discovery by mankind and from falling into the hands of Taltos, a rogue splinter group with followers who were once Primogens who want to use the objects for personal gain.
In book one, The Mirror, Snow White’s Mirror, has activated and predicts a major catastrophe if Dr. Ben Michaels gets into the cab at Penn Station, New York that is hit by a city truck and explodes. It becomes the calling of Siene Dower, a direct descendent of The Brothers Grimm and one of the Primogen Sentinels, to stop him and find out who wants him dead. She suspects it is the head of Taltos but needs Ben to help her discover why. The answer takes Ben and Siene, along with her brother, Reed, Sentinels from two continents, and both Lina, Thumbelina actually, and Shard, a piece of the Magic Mirror, in a race to find the answers before Taltos gains control.
After reading The Mirror, I’d like to ask you this question - Fairy Tales – Fact or Fiction. You decide.
I wish I could speak with you personally and hear your thoughts on this fantasy romp the blends love, betrayal, and commitment into the story Patt and I envisioned from page one. We both hope you enjoy The Mirror and hope to hear from you in the future.
All the best.
P. K. Eden
