Alban Arthan. Winterfest. The end of the old year, the birth of the next.

Katazarra, once the Lord’s favorite, has been locked in Fae Realm for longer than memory recalls.

Then comes James, a human new to the Realm. A prize, not yet bound. A toy given to Katazarra such that she will bind him.

If she fails, the Lord’s penalty will be severe.

If she succeeds, it could be worse.

FIRST RAYS OF NEW SUN is a short story by bestselling Science Fiction and Dark Fantasy author Ron Collins.
