Morally grey
Chana, the Thorn Maiden, is very grey. She is committed to protecting herself, her brother, and her community, but the ways she does that can and often does, cross lines.

Villian in the past
The Father has been the wellspring of the conflict between the Humans and the Fairies since time before any living memory and history.
The part he shows to the Humans is but a part of the whole of his being.

The Human Kings use the colors black and white as do the Priests of the Father.

Why I have problems marketing my book series:
🧚 There are Fairies, but not your typical Fairies.
🏹It's an epic fantasy but focuses on dialogue and character moments, not big battles and fight scenes.
🌙Large cast of mostly women.
🔆Ceremonial magic!

Something yellow
Gold, as a metal does not exist in the Fairy or Human Realms. For two reasons.
1: I don't like it, so silver is the currency of Realms.
2: in the far distance, forgotten past, the Father hoarded all the gold for his war with the Goddess.
