Fairy Tale

In this loosely-connected starter to the magical trilogy which ends with Bad Fairy and Spelter Skelter, when high-schooler Colleen Gael walks through the fronds of a willow tree, she doesn't expect to end up in Talamhsióga, home of fairies, fauns, gnomes, lupracans, pixies, selkies, trills, urisks, and others. Nor does she expect herself to be caught up in a war that's been brewing between the Orkestrels and the tyrant King Stephen.None of these people are what Colleen expected from reading fantasy stories. They're alien folks who are hard to tell apart and it's even harder to divine their motives. All Colleen wants to do is get back home and when a fairy named Hexandria seems to befriend her, she thinks she might find her path, but Hexandria has an entirely different plan for Colleen.There's no handsome prince to save her here. Can Colleen's active imagination, her sense of humor, and her good nature undermine the evil that's been spreading for decades in Talamhsióga? Or will she be trapped forever, another victim of intolerance and paranoia?
