Beware the shapeshifters above the High King’s law.
Content warning: This is a love story, a tragedy. You might cry.
She desired a simpler life.
As the daughter of a lord raised on druid stories, Saoirse wanted to meet the fae.
She makes one last trip to the faerie rings and coast of Domberg, on the eve of her engagement to the seventh son of the High King—not expecting to find her each-uisge, water-spirit, waiting for her. The short story, A Water Horse, will be available in print from Amazon from February 10th, 2026. [ISBN 978-1-0696660-3-1, 44 pages] About the Author
D. M. De Alwis is a Canadian author living in Canada. Her passion for researching and writing prehistoric fantasy grew while playing pachinko through several careers. A Water Horse was partially inspired by her time spent living in Galway, Ireland—she discovered the fae follow the same rules regardless of origin. When not writing, she can be found volunteering for the cadet corps and teaching. D.M.’s novels are edited by Elise Abram and published by Ahasae Tharu Publishing.
