Last week I told you about all the cool creatures in the Raven Court series, but there are so many other fae books/series that also have awesome creatures.
Here are a few:
Hanna Sandvig’s Faerie Tale Romance novels are fairy tale retellings all set in Faerie! She has a few that overlap with the Raven Court, but with a different twist.
Cait Sìth - A powerful race of fae who can shift into the form of a black cat nine times. The ninth time they are trapped in cat form forever.
Cirein-cròin- Giant sea serpents, rumored to eat whales or even large ships. - These sound terrifying!
Cù Sìth - giant green hounds with glowing red eyes. Their bark is an omen of death. - Also cool/scary
Peiste - Giant serpents that lurk in lakes, bogs, and moats.
Poukha - Shape shifters. Natural form is like a shaggy black cat crossed with a rabbit. They are prone to mischief.
Sheerie - also called will-o’-the-wisp. A tiny winged faerie that lives near swamps and often guides travelers to their doom.
I got these directly from her website. If you want to read about more of here creatures you can view them on her faerie glossary: https://hannasandvig.com/faerie-glossary/
And you can find Hanna’s books here:
Tessonja Odette has two series set in Faerie. Entangled with Fae is also a series of fairy tale retellings in fae. And The Fair Isle Trilogy is an epic series set in the same world.
kelpies and puca - water horses similar to the cabyll ushtey
selkies - women who shift into seals with a sealskin
sylphs - air spirit
centaurs, fauns, and satyrs
You can find Tessonja’s books here:
Rose Garcia’s Fae Bloodlines series are probably most similar to the Raven Court series since they are both portal fantasy with the contemporary world. Her world of Faerie has some epic creatures.
Enbarr - a horse that can traverse both land and sea
Rarog - a fire demon in the appearance of a fire bird or phoenix
You can find Rose’s series here:
I hope you’ve enjoyed a month of fae creatures!! Next week will be a September wrap up, then we’ll switch gears to a more spooky/Octobery topic.
