Dark Knight — Cherie Denis

General Damiano doesn't want a vacation, ever…until he dreams of fairies.With rumors of hostilities with the human lands swirling around the Three Kingdoms, General Damiano is reluctant to take the vacation that the King insists he needs. But he must obey a direct order, so he, his horse, and his owl ride off into the sunset, or to the Bordertree Forest, which is closer. Bordertree protects the barrier between the Kingdom of Caul and the mysterious fairy lands, and Damiano hopes he'll be left alone in the remote province until he can return to work.But when he begins to dream every night of erotic, taunting fairies, he realizes there might be more to these woods than other people realize. One fairy in particular, a beautiful, winged temptress strumming a golden lyre, haunts him even in the daytime. The dreams grow ever more passionate, ever more realistic, until Damiano isn't sure what is a dream and what is real.He is a simple soldier and has never met a fairy, much less fallen in love with one. Or has he?
