Hunting for his Fairy Queen by Charlotte Swan

A treasure hunter searching for his salvation…
A desperate Fairy Queen hoping he’s the answer to her prayers…

Treasure hunter Finn has always known he was different. It’s why he’s spent the last thirty years of his life searching the high seas for the one thing that can save him: a fairy wish.
After winning a game of cards, he comes into possession of a fairy portal and wastes no time descending into an unknown realm in search of the cure to his curse. What he finds inside the sprawling meadow changes everything.

The Fairy Queen’s realm is dying.
Decay spreads across Meadowmist, as the Void continues to claim more fairy lives. The Deadlands will consume the rest of her realm if her prayers aren’t answered soon.
When a human falls from the sky, she believes this is the miracle she’s been begging the Spirits for. He’s certainly cocky enough for the task. Finn agrees to find a way to destroy the Void in exchange for a fairy wish.

If only it were that simple.
Despite the danger, the two of them set off to destroy the evil that’s polluting her realm. Finn has never seen anything as beautiful as Queen Arden, but he can’t afford to be distracted. Their relationship is purely transactional, a means to an end.
Why then does he feel like he’s known her all his life?

The deeper they travel into Meadowmist, the more devastation they uncover. Is this human their savior? Or will he become another casualty of the Void? Will Arden’s fleeting magic be enough to protect them, or will the darkness claim their lives before their budding love can bloom?

This is a spicy Ferngully re-imagining. It is a standalone novella between a cocky treasure hunter and the fairy queen who captures his heart
