Avalon, 510 A.D.

Rhys ab Tywysog is a young noble training at the court of Morgana le Fae. Though his days are filled with archery, courtly duties, and politics, Rhys yearns for adventure beyond Avalon’s mists—and dreams of one day earning his place among the Knights of the Round Table.

When he rows to the mainland in search of peace, he instead finds an ancient glen where legend breathes. There, in the quiet Exmoor Forest, he encounters Naida, a faery of the Seelie Court. She is beautiful, curious, and impossibly old—bound by magic to appear only in reflections and forbidden from contact with humankind.

But Naida longs to break the ancient curse that keeps her people unseen. Drawn to Rhys’ charm and sincerity, she risks everything to speak with him face-to-face. Their forbidden friendship grows even as Avalon prepares for its Apple Festival and the threat of war in the North deepens.

Rhys must juggle courtly expectations, dangerous secrets, and the chilling suspicion that dark forces are already watching him. Meanwhile, Naida faces mounting pressure from her own world—even as she dreams of crossing into his forever.

In a land of druids, faeries, and the last breaths of Arthurian legend, Men of Earth is a sweeping, romantic fantasy that weaves ancient magic, political intrigue, and forbidden love into a timeless coming-of-age tale.
