The Heart of the Trilogy
El legado de Nahia follows a fairy torn between love for her human-turned-family and her duties in the Soberanía de las Hadas (Fairy Realm). What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
El legado de Nahia is Book 3 in my Faerie Legacy Series and Nahia is the rebellious faery princess whose story fills in that 200-year gap between books 1 and 2 (Herencia Encantada and Un Don de Cuna). Her strengths and weaknesses lead her to change her family’s genetic footprint and, after a great many adventures, to a bittersweet victory.
What character did you most enjoy writing about? Was there one that was more challenging to write than others?
I loved writing Nahia’s character arc; she matures so much throughout this novel. Not sure why, but I also get a fiendish kick out of writing antagonists, and in El legado de Nahia, it was very satisfying to develop Alaia and Ederne as their own plots threatened our heroine.
Friendship, love, sacrifice, and duty are virtues that are highlighted throughout the story. Why are these important in telling the story?
Beyond the fantasy in this novel (really the whole series) we find a great deal of realism. At the heart of the trilogy is the relationship between women in a family, hybrid though it might be. How mothers and daughters communicate and relate to one another is a critical aspect of this 200-year saga driven by generational love.
Where do you see your characters after the book ends?
At the end of El legado de Nahia we leave the family poised to move forward in blissful interdimensional harmony. Although that has the traditional fairytale happy ending vibe, the thought of a 4th book has been nagging at me. The chronicle of the latest descendant of the Santillán clan is just too tempting to leave alone. As soon as I come up with a proper conflict for young Aintza, I’m sure book 4 will take off.

El legado de Nahia
El legado de Nahia, the third book in El Legado de las Hadas series, dives deep into a rich, multi-generational tale of family, loss, identity, and the eternal tug-of-war between the mystical world of the fairies and the grounding pull of humanity. Centered around Nahia, a fairy torn between love for her human-turned-family and her duties in the Soberanía de las Hadas, this story weaves together folklore, emotion, and a hefty dose of existential pondering. It’s got betrayal, longing, interdimensional drama, and a whole lot of heart.
I was pulled in by the elegance of Bossano’s world-building. That intro on the mythology of fairies is gold. Who doesn’t love the idea of a hidden, ancient race with a code of ethics more complicated than ours? The description of the glamour, their powers, and the strict structure of their matriarchal society sets the tone for a story that isn’t just fantasy—it feels like a believable, fleshed-out parallel reality.
What got me the most, though, was how human Nahia is. Her grief over losing Celeste felt raw and real. She’s not some shiny, perfect fairy—she’s messy, angry, petty even. When she talks about how unfair it is that Celeste died of old age while she, Nahia, still looks eighteen… oof. That bitterness, that jealousy—that’s the kind of vulnerability that made me root for her even when she did something awful.
There were moments when I wanted to shake Nahia. Her hatred for Alaia? It’s kind of intense. I get that Alaia’s a little uptight and maybe not the fairy-loving granddaughter Nahia dreamed of—but it goes beyond petty. Even Nahia’s internal struggle after stealing Calisto—like when she’s hit with the reality of caring for a baby who screams all night was funny and sad and brutally honest.
The writing is lush, poetic in places, and surprisingly down-to-earth in others. Bossano doesn’t shy away from waxing lyrical, but it never feels pretentious. Even when the fairies are flying around glowing like bioluminescent marbles, the story stays grounded in very human emotions: longing, regret, the desire to be remembered, to leave a legacy. That tension between the eternal life of a fairy and the brief, messy beauty of human life? It’s everywhere in this book, and it hits.
El legado de Nahia is about family—chosen, born, and lost. It’s about the ache of time, the price of decisions, and how love—real love—can stretch across worlds. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s a sucker for character-driven fantasy or who’s ever felt like they’re caught between two worlds and not fully at home in either. If you like your fairy tales with a side of real emotion and a splash of bittersweet, this book will resonate with you.
