First Aid For Fairies And Other Fabled Beasts (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
“Give her to me, now!” demanded Helen. She took the sodden handful of fairy from Rona, then realized she could hardly see her. Lavender was the one who had lit all their adventures so far. Helen turned to Sapphire as she landed on the shore and asked, “Can you give me some light without burning me?” Sapphire opened her mouth wide and produced a pale yellow glow from deep in her throat. Helen examined Lavender. Her dress was dark with water and her hair was stuck to her head. Her face was white and her eyes were closed. She was freezing cold, and totally limp. Helen didn’t think there was a spark of life in the fairy, until she saw that her right hand was still gripping her wand. Helen pushed the rucksack at Rona. “Open it and find some dry bandages.” Helen knelt on the ground, using Sapphire’s body to shelter her from the wind. Then she used one precious breath to blow her own hair off her sweaty forehead, and used the next one to blow, ever so softly, into Lavender’s mouth and nose.
