As summer approaches, Aislinn becomes more comfortable in her position as Queen of the Summer Court. She walks a fine line as she strives to strengthen her court by bonding with Keenan, her King and partner, and remaining faithful, in heart...and body, to her human lover Seth. Seth tries to give Ash the space she needs to govern, even though he is only too aware of the growing bond between her and her King. As he wanders between the three faerie courts that welcome him, Seth finds himself more often than not pondering his own mortality. There is still one court where Seth has no friends or allies, yet. Sorcha, the High Queen has only recently heard Seth's name, and she is most interested in bringing him to her court as well.
Strong friendships don't always endure, betrayals are often a way of life and alliances can be fluid. Things are about to change quickly for Seth and Ash. War looms on the horizon as the courts and their immortal monarchs take stock of one another. Tempers flare, threats are offered and it looks like chaos might break free in the faerie realm and spill over into our own, as well.
Marr has created a fascinating faerie world. Although written for young adults, it's as much of a crossover series as Twilight or Harry Potter. These books are an entertaining romp for anyone who enjoys spending their time in enchanted places.
Book Summary
Seth never expected he would want to settle down with anyone—but that was before Aislinn. She is everything he'd ever dreamed of, and he wants to be with her forever. Forever takes on new meaning, though, when your girlfriend is an immortal faery queen.
Aislinn never expected to rule the very creatures who'd always terrified her—but that was before Keenan. He stole her mortality to make her a monarch, and now she faces challenges and enticements beyond any she'd ever imagined.
In Melissa Marr's third mesmerizing tale of Faerie, Seth and Aislinn struggle to stay true to themselves and each other in a milieu of shadowy rules and shifting allegiances, where old friends become new enemies and one wrong move could plunge the Earth into chaos.
