Faeries of Dreamdark series.
Illustrated by
Jim Di Bartolo.
Whisper Silksinger is the last surviving member of a clan dedicated to guarding one of the sleeping Djinn, creators of the world. Magpie and Hirik, aspiring champions of the Djinn, will protect Whisper from the army of pursuing devils--if they can find her. Through Taylor's powerful storytelling, richly imagined world, and earnestly developed characters, old-fashioned winged fairies become fiercely new.

Faeries of Dreamdark series.
While most faeries flit about blithely unaware of the world outside their forest, Magpie Windwitch and her rough-and-tough crow tribe hunt down rogue devils. But Magpie may not be able to protect the faeries when Blackbringer, the oldest evil of all, threatens total obliteration. Well-rounded characters fight, banter, love, live, and die in this fully imagined fantasy world.
