A Heart So Green (Fair Folk #3)

Part Two The Ninth Wave

Part Two

The Ninth Wave

Not of mother, nor of father was my creation.

I was made from the ninefold elements:

From fruit-trees, from paradisal fruit;

From primroses and hill flowers,

From blossom of the trees and bushes;

From the roots of the earth I was made;

From the bloom of the nettle;

From water of the ninth wave.

—“Battle of the Trees,” attributed to Taliesin
