Zäria and Avery, two teenage faeries seeking adventure, get more than they bargained for when they start spying on the elves of Eerie Hollow. They discover why the elves are making delectable chocolates in the forest only to be captured by their adversary, Thordon who threatens them into taking on a quest.
They run into more trouble while crossing through The Perilous Forest when they meet a witch with her own agenda. Their only hope is to locate an ancient faerie sanctuary they’ve only heard of in legend.
Secrets are revealed about Zäria’s parents, which leaves her conflicted and forced to make some tough choices. Just when the fae think their troubles are over, the kingdom of Saizia is in danger of being destroyed.
Will Zäria and Avery be able to get help on time? How will they defeat the evil Thordon? Inspired by the author’s children, Faeries of Saizia is a unique story that will instill a love for reading, love for nature, and belief in life’s endless possibilities.
- Synopsis
Avery sat on the edge of his disheveled bed, wiping the sleep from his tired eyes.
- First Sentence; Chapter 1: Celebration
Goran threw a dark-green powder over her, and the already old witch aged before their eyes until she crinkled up, turned to dust and was blown away with the wind.

MY THOUGHTS ... Faeries, elves, witches, dragons ... Oh my!
Faeries, elves, witches, dragons ... Oh my!
All manner of magnificent magical beings, fantasy action, compelling world building (whilst characters tend to be my thing when it comes to novels, and my goodness! these characters did not disappoint, it was perhaps this, the author's mesmerising world-building and in particular the fae's amusing fairy colloquialisms, that really drew me in), a dash of romance, mild peril - whilst Faeries Of Saizia will doubtlessly appeal to those young-at-heart older readers as well as young readers themselves adults of more sensitive readers may wish to check it out for themselves first (as if I needed an excuse) as some of the action may prove a tad too much - oh! and chocolate, this novel really does have it all.
Way up there as a hi-light read of 2019; the memorable characters (such great names as well) captured my heart, the twists, the turns kept me on my toes, Eerie Hollow and the land beyond sparked my imagination. Combined altogether I'd say Tonya L Chaves has a winner.

Both the title and the cover of this book are intriguing. Like yourself, I also admire world building and well crafted characters. I think that I would like this book.
While I don't read a lot of fantasy, this does sound like a delightful story. I love the cover!
I can promise you you will love this book. It is exciting, it keeps you intrigued, you just want to keep reading and not put it down. I have a hard time putting it down, I loved this book. after I read it I gave it to my granddaughter, she loves it also! I'll give this hands down to five! I love the cover, I love the story. it was awesome
This sounds like something I would like. You had me at faeries, but then the addition of witches and dragons! Oh my!
Felicity,
Faeries of Saizia sounds enchanting. Wonderful review!
Hi Felicity,
Once again you have written a lovely review and the post is the complete package for a Blog Tour - it looks great!
I can imagine every child loving something about this one and when you mentioned those young-at-holder older readers, I just know that my MIL would go for it in a flash.
It really isn't something I think I would enjoy reading, although the cover art is so startlingly eye-catching, it has to be one of the best this year!
Thanks for sharing and enjoy the rest of your week :)

Felicity,
This sounds like a compelling
and delightful story. And what
you said about the memorable
characters, all the twists and
turns and the world-building
piqued my curiosity.
