In the Gloaming, an anthology of Faerie stories features

advice and decides to venture out in the forest. She
discovers true love in her own back yard. Robin's Cap by Esmerelda Bishop is a
frightening story about Graham Parish and Kat Davis. They

an evil faerie named Robin Cap. Faced with danger, the two
begin to see just how much they mean to one another. But
can they escape the clutches of the evil Faerie? The Icicle by K.M. Frontain is an erotic
story about a woman name Elli who decides to take a trip
with her family to her step brother's chalet in Norway.

problem finding ways to fill her time. Elli discovers
pleasure she has never felt before when elves pay her a
visit she will never forget. The Dream by Nita Wick is a story about a
woman named Katie who while taking a trip to Scotland
decides to venture off into the woods looking for enchanted
creatures. While on her little journey, she begins to feel
tired and decides to take a little nap on a wooden bridge.
Katie is soon awakened by the sight of an ugly troll who
wants her off his bridge. Katie thinks this is all a
figment of her imagination and she argues with the troll.
But she is rescued by a gorgeous looking man named Aidan
McLain whom Katie knows from her recurring dreams. Soon
Katie begins to believe that this is all part of dream.
However things begin to feel all too real. Could this just
be dream? The Enchanted Meadow by Kelley Heckart. When
the warriors from the Raven Clan are sent to guard the
King's cattle, odd things begin to happen. Their Clan
leader Taran sees's a face in a huge oak tree but he
dismisses it as a trick of the mind. But when cattle starts
disappearing right under their noses, it's obvious things
are wrong. Taran gets a visit from a wood elf who gives him
mind blowing pleasure but she also gives him a warning. The
evil that lurked around this place is the same evil being
that had made her a prisoner of the oak tree. Taran just
has to figure out that the key to everyone's survival lies
within him. In the Gloaming is a collection of amazing stories written
by five very talented authors. Each story is so unique and
well written. From finding true love to defeating evil,
there is something for everybody in this book. I thoroughly
enjoyed it and I know others will too.
