DALLAS, TX, September 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Kings' Council takes place in the fictional land of Faerie, where a council consisting of the Fire King, Water King, Earth King, and Wind King rules over the fey. Each king has the power to control his given element and those divinely gifted powers have been passed from king to firstborn prince for thousands of years... until Queen Erlea of the Fire Kingdom gave birth to twins: Mikel and Alazne.

Alazne Katarin Lorea Viteri, the princess of the fire fey, had miraculously inherited the legendary hair and hands of fire just as her brother had, and for that reason she was forced to live as a prisoner while her brother was groomed to become the next king. After twenty five years of loneliness and captivity, Alazne is freed from her gilded cage by a reluctant thief named Garaile and is given her first taste of freedom and friendship. Unfortunately, the princess quickly learns that with freedom comes more responsibility, heartbreak, and tragedy than she ever experienced as a prisoner.

The Kings' Council is the first published work of fiction written by Kristen Reed. The fantasy novella will be released as an ebook through Amazon's Kindle store on November 4, 2012 and everyone who RSVPs "Yes" to the corresponding ebook release event created by The Kings' Council on Facebook will be entered into a drawing for a signed copy of the Createspace paperback edition.
