About This Book
In Fairie, the one-eyed wizard, Grandolin, has led an uprising against Elazandra, now queen. Her kingdom has no chance of survival without the intervention of Ryan, Ashlyn, and Michael from the human world. Two new main characters are introduced: Ringyar, general of the elfin army and longtime friend of Elazandra, who has secretly been in love with her since they were kits, and Deleigha, beautiful Royal Wizard, who is handicapped and walks with crutches. Her magic is very close to science. The setting of Fairie is magnificent, and its social inhabitants, dwarves and elves, are wonderful characters with unique personalities. Wildlife includes unicorns, gargoyles and dragons.
