Description

When Henry Atherton returned to his own life in the suburbs of London,
he thought all was well in the Faerie Ream. His new friend Pyrgus, the
crown prince of Faerie, was about to be coronated as Purple Emperor.
But then Princess Holly Blue arrived on Earth, seeking Henry's help once
more.

A plot to assassinate Pyrgus is afoot, but that's not the
worst of their problems. Pyrgus's father, the murdered Purple Emperor,
has been raised from the dead by means of foul necromantic sorcery.
Now Lord Hairstreak and the sinister Faeries of the Night have seized
control of the Realm . . . and driven Pyrgus and his allies into hiding.

Henry
has no choice to return to the world of Faerie to aid his friends. But
that proves easier said than done when the mystical portal linking
their realms goes awry. Now Henry will have to scramble just to stay
alive in a fantastic world that's constantly full of surprises . . . and
danger.
Look for the other exciting books in this series: Faerie Wars, Ruler of the
Realm
, Faerie Lord, and The Faeman Quest!
