Rathersting Gallery

The Rathersting faerie clan are the guardians of the magical forest of Dreamdark. They live in a huge, ancient yew tree on the face of Dreamdark Crag, from where they can survey the whole vast world of the forest. Besides maintaining peace and stability, they are also responsible for gathering the sticky, clotted web from the dreaded Spiderdowns, which the healer Orchidspike needs for the job of knitting up torn faerie wings. Rathersting are rough faeries without the fine town manners of the Never Nigh folk (who are not suitably appreciative of what the warriors do for them), and they're easy to recognize, because they have tattoos on their faces.

Want to be a Rathersting? You can! (See the end of the post for how to get tattoos of your own.)

How to get some tattoos?

There are several ways. (No matter which, make the subject header: RATHERSTING TATTOOS.)

1) Post about the Dreamdark books on your blog and email me the link, along with your mailing address.

2) Post a [positive] review of Dreamdark: Blackbringer (or, when the time comes, Silksinger) on Amazon. Email me the link and your mailing address.

3) Email me me a photo of yourself holding a Dreamdark book in your home or town or in some fun, exotic, or unusual place. A photo of you dressed as a Dreamdark character will work too! Again, include your mailing address!

4) Email me and tell me how cute you or your child will look in the tattoos. That might be enough :-)

Hope you'll join the tribe!
