Book description
In the exciting conclusion to Herbie Brennan's New York Times
bestselling Faerie Wars series, a child who is half faerie, half human
has the power to determine the fate of both worlds. The Faeman Girl is
Mella, daughter of Lord Henry and Queen Holly Blue, half faerie, half
human and all trouble. When Mella accidentally travels to the country of
Haleklind, she discovers rebel forces preparing an invasion using
magical manticores. Old favourites are here - Brimstone, Lord Hairstreak
and Pyrgus - but readers will identify immediately with Mella, whose
stubborn streak and feisty daring must save the faerie realm from mass
destruction. Praise for Faerie Wars: 'A crossover title from which few
readers of any age would wish to cross back. Brennan writes with all the
dash of an Irish storyteller at the peak of his form. Inventive as Harry
Potter, dark as Gormenghast and as intelligently probing as Philip
Pullman, here is a title to brighten the dreariest of winter days'
Independent Praise for Faerie Lord: 'Will thrill die-hard fans or new
readers alike ... An intriguing fantasy mystery' Big Issue 'An
interesting mixture of humour, baroque invention, and psychological
tension ... The imaginative elements are strong and the Faerie Realm
vividly imagined' School Librarian 'Brennan's work is characterised by
an exuberance of spirit and unlimited inventiveness' School Librarian
Herbie Brennan lives and works in County Carlow, Ireland. He is the
author of many wonderful books for both adults and children.
