Titania's Reflection: A Retelling of Fairer-than-a-Fairy and A Midsummer Night's Dream

by Lisa Dawn · 2025

In a misguided act of pride, a newborn princess is named after the vengeful Queen Titania and spirited away to the fae realm, where she is brought up under the false name, Hermia. Tasked with maintaining an enchanted flame, Hermia falls in love with a prince named Lysander, whose spirit is trapped inside a rainbow. When the flame is extinguished along with her ability to communicate with the prince, she must travel to the dangerous Unseelie Court with two fae protectors, Helena and Demetrius, to restore peace and free her true love. This story combines an obscure fairy tale from Andrew Lang's Yellow Fairy Book called "Fairer-than-a-Fairy" with William Shakespeare's classic comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream.
