By Wyn Estelle Owens
Aisla Nic Choilleich was blessed with Faerie sight when she was but a small child. Sight, which allows her to see what others cannot. Now a lady-in-waiting for Princess Mairead, Aisla feels the magic of Castle Greer calling to the other that is a part of her. A magic that is growing as Summer slowly dies.
One night everything changes - Aisla glimpses a king of the Fair Folk who is cursed. But there is more to her dreams - danger is waiting for her and if she is caught by the Dreammidst she may not be able to escape.
Aisla fears Mairead may be in trouble and she doesn't know enough of the Fairie Realm to help her. She needs help and her dreams may have directed her as to whom in the Mortal Realm can assist her.
The Dark King's Curse is a world that is slowly falling into spreading darkness, a darkness that has divided two brothers, darkness that caught the twelve daughters of King Muir in its web. The King is anything but happy with the unexplained doings of his daughters that are resulting in damaged-beyond-repair slippers every night! When King Muir gives the ladies-in-waiting three days to tell him why - Ailsa foolishly says that she will discover what is happening and will accept all of the blame if she cannot.
With three days and not much to go on, she has a daunting task before her.
Sit down and get ready to enter a world where not all is as it seems and darkness is encroaching on the light. Summer is soon to be a thing forgotten. And twelve princesses know more than they are telling. Sometimes one needs a bit of help to get to the root of a mystery.
If you love fairytale retellings and a bit of mystery The Dark King's Curse is waiting for you...
I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion - all thoughts expressed are my own.
About the Book:
A darkness seems to hang over the lands of Conall, slowly but surely growing in strength with each
passing year.
It all comes to a head when the twelve daughters of King Muir begin to disappear each night. None will
admit where they go, and the only clue is their shoes; new in the evening, tattered and torn by morning.
When no one can stop the disappearances, Ailsa--lady-in-waiting to the youngest princess--volunteers to
try and solve the mystery, or she and her peers will pay the consequences for failing to watch over their
charges.
Armed with nothing but her gift of Fae-sight, Ailsa ventures forth on a quest to free her lady and the other
princesses. With the help of a grumpy, glamoured gardener, a cursed faerie cat, and the mysterious Lord
of Autumn, she may discover both the secrets and the truth behind the Dark King that lies at the root of
the curse.

About the Author:
Wyn Estelle Owens is the penname of a young woman who’s still figuring out what this whole ‘adult’
thing is all about. She lives in a big, old house in Maryland by a Hundred Acre Wood (dubbed Neldoreth)
with her parents, three occasionally obnoxious brothers, her dog Jackie, and her personal plot bunny,
Joker.
She is fond of reading, writing, drawing, speaking in dead or imaginary languages, playing videogames,
quoting classic or obscure literature, being randomly dramatic, and generally making things out of yarn.
Her dream is to write stories that inspire people to chase after the wonderful world of storytelling.
Her favorite all-time authors are Anne Elisabeth Stengl, Christa Kinde, and above all, J.R.R. Tolkien, who
first inspired her to pursue novel writing when she read the Hobbit at the age of seven.
