A Simple Tale of Ink and Bindings (The Simple Tale Books)

Let man fear the Leanan Sidhe. Her gifts are not without price.

Fia Walsh has never fit in. With iridescent beetle shell hair, and what might be newly sprouting horns, she’s decided to run away from the city, her loving brother, and his shrew of a wife. In order to make her escape, she needs money. The only way to get it is to sell her most treasured possession—a worn leather book once belonging to her mother. The only problem? Tieg Connolly, a dour young man on the hunt for rare and interesting tomes.

In a lucky twist of fate, Fia accepts a job from Tieg and moves to the small town of Feyport—where the fey are rumored to abound. Assisting him in his new business venture, the ever upbeat Fia senses her treasured book and Tieg himself are both holding secrets. Wanting nothing more than to find her place in the world, she’ll need to learn to read the mysterious text all the while evading some rather unsavory characters. While Fia and Tieg grow closer, Fia learns sometimes discovering yourself comes at a hefty price.

A cozy Celtic folklore inspired fantasy brimming with unforgettable characters, dangerous creatures, long buried family secrets, and heart warming romance, A Simple Tale of Ink and Bindings returns to the world of A Simple Tale of Water and Weeping but may be read as a stand alone novel.
