Once Again: Tales of Destiny (Paperback or Softback)

Mara's mother forbade any talk of magic. This one rule leads to Mara's denial about all the magical manifestations she sees daily. At 20 years of age, she no longer notices seeing Wind Sprites and Ogres --until Aerrvin shows up.

Aerrvin is a Fairy Prince on a quest. He has decided to seek a bride from among the Humans of Seattle. After choosing Mara as his target, and using old magic, he intends to Transform Mara from a Human to a Fairy.

Mara reminds herself of the mantra her mother taught, "Magic is not real." At the same time, she encourages her dreams of flying about each night as a fairy to continue. Eventually, she seeks counseling to determine reality.

Meanwhile, Morvayne has been spying on Mara all of her life. Some of those within the world of the Faire, who practice the art of Dreaming, know that she is a central figure in the future of all the world. Morvayne intends to exploit her for his own gain, which he can only do if she comes to believe in the reality of the Faire Realms. Magic is real.

M. Kari Barr grew up in a home filled with books. Fantasy became her favored escape from reality. It is no surprise that her debut novel is filled with fairies, elves, and dragons. Crafting stories that offer others the chance to put aside everyday concerns has been one of her best experiences in life. Not counting having eight children and nearly as many grandchildren. Sharing her love of books truly brings a smile to her face.
