Lily Keith wrote a fantasy story about a land where fairies, elves, shapeshifters, dwarves, and many more creatures live in peace from the outside world until the day a neighboring kingdom comes in and tries to convince them to join them and conquer the land of Mheán. The fairies refuse. “Once Rardan’s army collided into the Sióga’s was when the battle truly started. The Elves were firing two or three arrows at a time taking several soldiers down in the process. The Griffins had the Dwarves in their claws and the Leathlings on their backs firing arrows and toxic darts at those bold enough to shoot at them. The Shapeshifters shifted into their fearsome forms of bears, leopards, panthers, lions, and so many more.”
