A Bad-Ass Faerie Tale

Better Get Your Bad-Ass On!

THE RUMBLE OF A HARLEY...
THE GLEAM OF BLACK LEATHER...
THE SHINE OF POLISHED CHROME...
THE FREEDOM OF THE OPEN ROAD....

Motorcycles meet magic and mayhem as Lance Cosain, the halfling leader
of The Wild Hunt MC, protects his turf and his people from attacks ordered
by Dair na Scath, the high king of the fae.

Holding his own against rogue fae, redcaps, and pissed-off road gremlins,
all Lance wants to do is settle down with his lady. Instead he goes toe-to-toe with
the high king’s champion over an ancient dagger and the claim to a throne.

Who will triumph? The king of the road or the king of the realm?
Either way, the Hunt is on!

Based on the stories “At the Crossroads” and “Within the Guardian Bell”
from the award-winning Bad-Ass Faeries Anthology series.

“This book was so great. I loved it to pieces...the entire time I'm reading it,
I'm going "omg, this is totally Lord of the Rings meets Sons of Anarchy."”
—Scarlett-speaks, Blog Reviewer

"[The Halfling’s Court,] a fast-paced adventure that was a lot of fun to read...
Ackley-McPhail ran with this one and it was a blast...This one is short, fast, and fun, and
worth a read for anyone who is looking for a light tale that doesn’t take itself too seriously."

—Luke Forney, Luke Reviews

“The Halfling’s Court: A Bad-Ass Faerie Tale is an exciting novel full of action and adventure that will change your mind about just how bad-ass faeries can be.”
—Professor Crazy, BSC Review

(Author's Note: The following reviews are on "At the Crossroads",
which appeared in the anthology Bad-Ass Faeries, which is one of the stories
expanded upon to create The Halfling's Court.)

"Tugging at the readers heart and hitting all the right notes, "At The Crossroads"
is just one example of the treasure trove waiting for readers in Bad Ass Faeries."
—4 1/2 Mystique Moons, Sarah Gentili, Mystique Books

"This was a very interesting take on faeries as you don’t often hear of faeries being
Harley riding, macho guys. I really liked that aspect of the story and the ending
wasn’t quite what you expected, but in a good way."  
—5 Tombstones, Becky, Bitten by Books

"At The Crossroads" by Danielle Ackley-McPhail is one of the true gems in
Bad-Ass Faeries. A fine, exciting tale with compelling characters."
