Haven of Feathers and Ore is a short story (under 70 pages) set on Eadha Island, the same as the full-length novels in the Wild Hunt books by H J Reese. Book one in the series starts with Dancing With Darkness. These novels follow the mythology of the Wild Hunt, its fall and its rise.

There are exactly three beings outsider and magicless, Deryn Ironside of The Mainland, is comfortable talking to. And one of them can come and go as he pleases (as he often does in the middle of a conversation).
But even recluses get lonely, and she wants a way for her love, a hawkshifter from the Courtless, to be able to step foot in the Iron Tower she calls home. But fae, even Shifterfae as he is, can’t touch iron. And Deryn swore she’d never return to the courts—his home—and the tricky fae that broke her ever again.
Enlisting the help of her best friend, a demigod with questionable morals, she sets off in search of a way for fae to touch iron.
But the ruins of the old cities are dangerous and filled with monsters, and Deryn lost her bravery, and her leg, the same day she lost her trust in Eadha Island’s fae.
Can she find the courage to do what she must for the hawkshifter she loves? Or will her fears hold her back more than her broken body ever could?
