Stranger Magics

No one holds a grudge quite like a faerie . . . All Colin Leffee wants is to be left alone: to run his used bookstore in peace, and to quietly drink himself to sleep every night in an attempt to drown out the memories of eight-hundred-plus years of existence.Unfortunately, whena sullen teenage changelingis flung out of Faerie and onto his doorstep, the long-suffering, wayward son of Titania knows his dreams of solitude are dust. Colinor Lord Coilen, as he is known to the Faerie courtmust track down Meggy, the love of his life, and figure out how her child ended up in Titanias clutches to begin with.But with family, its never simple. He finds Meggy, only tosee her yanked into Faerieand the doors between the realms slammed and locked behind her. Now, its not justher lifeat stake . . . but the fate of magic itself. Always the loner, Colin reluctantly joins forces with an intensely stubborn wizard, a young priest-in-training who fancies himself a knight, and his half brother Robin (the last most definitely not by choice) on a quest to reopen the doors and restore the balance between the realms. And with exiled queen Mab plotting in the shadows to take Titanias throne, and the wizards of the governing Arcanum hiding their own agenda, Colin cant be sure whom to trustor whether hell live long enough to see the mission through.
