Desert Tales is the three book manga series, set in the world of Wicked Lovely. They are not necessary to read, but involve some of the same characters as the Wicked Lovely books. They are a companion set, much like Ink Exchange.

The Desert Tales books center around Rika, a former Winter Girl, now a solitary in the Mojave Desert. You can find out more about Rika in the Wicked Wiki.

The first of the books, Sanctuary, was released in April 09. It is contemporary in time with Fragile Eternity.
The cover, which features Rika, Keenan, Jace (A mortal) and Shy (A fox faery) can be viewed in our galleries.

This is the text on the back: "The desert is far away from the schemes of the Faerie Courts-- and that's how Rika likes it. Once a mortal and now a faery, Rika seeks isolation and revels in her ability to appear invisible to humans. Until she meets him. Artistic and kind, Jayce is the last person Rika wants to hide from. But change is coming, challenging Rika's freedom and her new romance, as her past pursues her, even into the heart of the desert..."
