Endymion and the Fae
by J. Steven Lamperti

A shepherd boy, a girl of the fae, and a love that could heal—or divide—their worlds.

High in the mountain meadows, Endymion tends his sheep where mist clings to the slopes and old songs ride the wind. His life is simple—until he meets Lily, a girl of the Wee Folk with eyes like wildfire and a laugh like spring water.

To her people, she is Wee Folk. To his, she is Fae—a name spoken with fear, as if it carried danger of its own. What begins as a tender bond soon sets two worlds on edge.

When old wounds flare, Endymion must choose between peace and passion, tradition and hope. If he and Lily cannot bridge the divide, their love may cost more than their hearts.

A standalone tale within the Tales of Liamec, Endymion and the Fae is a gentle, slow-burn fantasy romance of first love, meadow magic, and quiet rebellion—for those who cherish cozy folklore, tender magic, and the stillness of high pastures.

A beautiful story, one that starts innocently enough but soon draws you in and won’t let you go until the last page. Endymion is an interesting character, while he’s a shepherd, and enjoys his solitary time, there’s also something about him that just makes you gravitate toward him. At the start, his life seems so peaceful and idyllic, that it’s hard to imagine anything more exciting than a wolf happening to him. Everything changes when Lily comes into his life, and from there the story really picks up. Lamperti does a great job with the descriptions, bringing the story to life around you. It’s easy to imagine yourself right there beside the characters through each step of the story. Endnote: you do not need to read the other Tales of Liamec books before reading this one, it works perfectly as a standalone.
