Witness the wonder and terror of magic.

Once upon a time in a land not so far away, in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, a jealous girl stole a magical artifact from a fairy tale museum, unlocking a curse that might cost her life.

Right now, in the wilds of the Rocky Mountains, a man obsessively studies a wild girl living with and raised by a wolf pack, but soon, watching won’t be enough.

Tonight, in a city a storm will rage, waking a boy from a deadly dream and propelling him toward the insidious darkness of his ancestry.

Fairy tales are taking place all around us in modern times. Look closely and you will see fear, fate, and magic intertwine, or perhaps discover you are in the midst of a tale of your own.

If you love selkies, changelings, and cursed objects thriving in our contemporary world, then this is the collection for you!

Reseñas de la Crítica

"When Magic Calls beckons the reader to it like a siren on the shore. ... Caitlin Berve's creativity is nothing short of brilliant.” (Todd Mika, author of Tales from Grimmgard)

A great read with a fresh twist!!

I loved the twist on traditional fairy tales and legends! My favorite was the story about the Bitter Berry and the last made me tearful. Very easy to read and a much needed distraction from the recent stresses.
