Book description
When a cute guy dressed like a Victorian pirate kneels in front of
Eloise the day after her seventeenth birthday, she knows that
something strange is going on-and that's before he vows to be her
champion and mentions her flaky aunt, Antonia, who's gone
incommunicado once again.
But this appearance isn't a coincidence, and when Eloise is
attacked and pushed into an alternate world called Faery, she becomes
embroiled in the underground politics of this world. Her captor is
Lord Strahan, the ruler of Faery who is desperately clinging to his
throne and will do anything to keep it. The only one who can break his
power is his wife, Eloise's aunt Antonia-and Eloise has become his
bargaining chip.
Now Eloise must find a way to save her aunt
from Lord Strahan, and she'll need the help of her best friends Jo and
Devin, along with the other Fae captives of Strahan's hall, including
his son, Eldric. With a whole world of Faeries out to get her, Eloise
must stop Strahan both worlds are thrust into complete chaos.
