Anita Palmer is an average high school student in London until she turns sixteen and a series of events causes her to end up in Faerie. Suddenly, she finds out that she is Tania, the youngest daughter of Oberon and Titania, and that she has been lost for 500 years. Faerie has been in mourning since her disappearance but now it starts to come alive again. Anita wants to believe that what she is being told is true, but she is having trouble reconciling the life she knows with the life everyone in Faerie wants her to have. Meanwhile, a plot threatens all of them and Anita may be the only one who can stop it.
In the second book, The Lost Queen, Tania and Edric return to the Mortal Realm to see if they can find Titania and bring her home. Their simple plans are disrupted, however, by enemies still attempting to thwart them. It will come down to a race against time and a healthy dose of luck to save the lost queen and all of Faerie.
In the third book, The Sorcerer King, Tania has found Titania, but an ancient evil has been unleashed on the land of Faerie. None of the problems thy have faced thus far have prepared them for the Sorcerer King of Lyonesse. Now that Titania has discovered her new life, she may not be able to save her land and family in time to live 'happily ever after.'
This series is fun and overall a great read. I enjoyed the characters and the story even though the plot was somewhat predictable. This series introduces several long story arcs, so the endings are a little unsatisfying unless you continue reading; probably not a great choice for readers who don't want to invest in a series. However, I would recommend these books to readers looking for light reading or, in particular, those who enjoy stories about the Faerie Realm.
I originally thought this book was a trilogy, but it actually continues; see this posting for the fourth book, The Immortal Realm
- If this book sounds interesting, consider these: Wicked Lovely, The Fairy Godmother, Cecelia and Kate, or Princess Nevermore
