Salka - Lady of the Lake

A piercing and passionate retelling of a Welsh myth in which a faerie falls madly in love with a young farmer. When Salka, a lake faerie, falls in love with Owain, a shepherd, they marry and over time his farm prospers and he experiences nothing but good luck. But what haunts them both is her fateful prophecy that if he ever strikes her three heart-blows, she will disappear from his life forever. As prejudice and suspicion take root in their village, Owain finds himself wishing his beautiful wife tried harder to mask her faerie ways to fit into the human world. Narrated through the eyes of multiple characters, this novella is a rich, thought provoking and tragic story.
