    About this ebook

    This story is from the Robin Goodfellow series, as told by the enigmatic Traveller.
    Curse of the Firefly is a magical fantasy adventure set in the fictional Dwerger Mountain valley in rural England. Sixteen year old college student Faye, a ‘gifted’ artist, bears the ‘mark’ and is estranged from her superstitious village community and her own stepmother, due to a tragic childhood ‘incident’. A deadly foe has been unleashed in the valley…who are the mysterious Alterterraneans? Follow Faye’s heart wrenching journey of empowerment, aided by the arrival of a mystical Rider. A lively cast of colourful characters contribute humour and intrigue to this tale, which is packed full of enchantments, transformations, dilemmas and dangers… will Faye and those who help her manage to vanquish the evil? The odds are stacked against her…!
