Desperate, they breached the Wall to hunt humans. But they made one critical mistake. They took her sister.
In rural Wisconsin, an old stone wall is all that separates the world of magic from the world of manâ€"a wall that keeps the shapeshifters inside. When something gets out, people disappear. Completely.
Escaping from an abusive uncle, eighteen-year-old Charlotte runs away. She takes her bratty younger sister Anna with her, swearing to protect her. However, when their bus breaks down by a creepy old farm, the inconceivable happensâ€"Anna is wiped from human memory.
But something inside Charlotte remembers. So she goes over the Wall in a frantic rescue attempt, accidentally awakening a once cruel but still dangerous prince, and gaining control of a powerful weapon, his magic dagger.
Charlotte’s only chance to save Anna hinges on her courage and an uneasy alliance with some of the very monsters that feed on humanity.
Welcome to River Vine, a shrouded hinterland where dark magic devours and ancient shifters feed, and where the seed of love sets root among the ashes of the dying.

"Fun, fast-paced fairy goodness." â€"Peadar O'Guilin, author of The Call and The Invasion
An imaginative romp with a modern edge... a unique fantasy adventure with a dose of charm and sass... a sprinkle of beautifully dark, descriptive prose (and a dash of fairy tale)..." â€"Cynthia L. Schneider, author of the Crown of Thorns and the Nite Fire series
"Part psycho hitchhiker movie, part road trip to Rylyeh, Fallen Princeborn: Stolen drags the reader deep into Faerie, burns it down, and caramelizes expectations." â€"ARC reviewer
"This book is amazing." â€"ARC reviewer
"This gripping YA fantasy about Charlotte's encounter with the fae comes complete with a prince... but he's no Prince Charming, while they're definitely nothing like Tinkerbell." â€"ARC reviewer
Editorial Reviews
"Lee writes from a third-person, present-tense point of view, but the tale is still told very much from Charlotte’s perspective, spurning exposition in favor of snippets of teenage angst. Charlotte emerges as a believable survivorâ€"strong, determined, and devoted to her sister, but also vulnerable, with a deeply buried sense of hope.... The fairy realm itself is more grim than enchanting (think the Upside Down from the Netflix TV series Stranger Things).... A suitably beguiling and unsettling first book in a series that promises deeper, darker escapism." â€"Kirkus Reviews
