Chasing The Past

The story began with a young woman, a terrible loss, and a great secret lurking under the surface of the Three Realms. Now, readers will discover the stories of the family members who affected Grace Richardson’s past, present, and future.

From the universe of the Chasing Fae Trilogy comes three short stories that capture crucial characters in Grace Richardson’s life and the events that led up to the beginning of the trilogy.

In A Chance Meeting, Amelia Richardson, Grace’s future mother, meets Alexander Faelie, Grace’s future father, for the first time during one of his escapes from the Fae Upper Realm to the mortal Middle Realm. She works to teach him the joy of art and creation and learns a little bit about seizing life herself.

In Taking My Place, Elise, Alexander’s future wife, finds herself meeting this future High Lord several times throughout their lives. And though she may not seem like she has a chance of marriage with so many other wealthy daughters throwing themselves at Alexander, she intends to take her place in the House of the Evening no matter who gets in her way – as High Lady.

In Coming To Terms, Grace’s half-brother Neil has lived his entire life never having to compete for anything, whether it be the House of the Evening’s heirship, his family’s love, or the respect of the people. But when his father brings home a bastard daughter to take over his crown, his entire world gets thrown into a tailspin.

Chasing The Past expands readers’ knowledge of the Three Realms and the people who crossed Grace’s path with the same strong women and powerful family themes that Cady Hammer is known for.
