They want a war, they'll get it!It's bad enough that they're interrupting my classes at Titania Academy. This semester, classes include Concealment and Heredity, and I'll learn about my true Fae Folk form. And Advanced Glamour, and Herbology. And Flying!I'm supposed to be kissing Chance - yes, he's my boyfriend now! - under the moonlight.But noooooooooooo. Instead, I have to FIGHT because this "Faction" as they now call themselves, has decided to DECLARE WAR?A faerie war? What does that even mean?Well, I'm from New York, and I know how to survive. I don't want to fight, but since they insist...They've already kidnapped my uncle, The Oak King. I'm sure they're going to use his power to try to take back the Elfen Lands and to take over the entire Faerie realm.And I'm just as sure they want to kill my father, The Holly King. And probably everyone else I care about, too.Do you think I'm going to let that happen? I don't THINK SO.I may be just 15, but they have no idea who they're messing with. Elemental magic scared them enough to try to kidnap me. Imagine how scary it will be for them when I unleash it on their treasonous....Control yourself, Holly. Save your anger for them. You're gonna need it. Because this is war.Yeah, it's ON!

"Holly, there's someone to see you in the headmistress's office.""What? Who?" I didn't have any relatives to speak of, except for my father. And it was already arranged that I'd be staying with him over winter break."An emissary from the Elfen court."AN EMISSARY FROM THE WHAT !Please tell me you're kidding ... The Oak King Faction has filed a formal protest with the Elfen Ministry: They don't want me attending Titania Academy. They're trying to pull me into the Elfen world instead, away from everything I know. All my friends, all my classes. Away from my father. Away from Chance. ♥ "The Oak King Faction knows how powerful you are. They know they're at a disadvantage as long as you're here at the Academy. They're trying to force you to move to the Elfen lands.""What do you mean? 'Elfen lands'?""The land to the northwest is Elfen land. You'd be forced to go to school there. We wouldn't see you again for years.""Holly ..." Chance took me in his arms and pulled me in tight. "Please don't leave ..." He kissed me tenderly. My heart swooned.- I made my way downstairs to the headmistress's office. I was determined to fight tooth and nail to stay at Titania Academy, even if it meant bringing my father in to speak on my behalf.Chance and I had just gotten together, something I'd been daydreaming of since the day he'd first said "hello" to me.I knocked on the door."Go right in, Miss Ó Cuilinn," the secretary said, indicating the inner door. The door where my life would be decided. The door that led either to staying at the Academy - staying with Chance - or moving to an unknown realm, an unknown school, and unknown people.I turned the doorknob and stepped in the room.The headmistress of Titania Academy, Professor Ó Baoghill, was sitting behind her desk, talking with someone sitting opposite her. I couldn't see who it was, but something was off... The headmistress was blushing. And she stammered when she talked. Was she ill?The visitor was rising from his seat, turning to greet me ...Oh dear God ... He had platinum blonde hair, just like me. It was long and was arranged in several braids as well as hanging loose and long down his back. He was dressed in a royal silver outfit, with blue-silver brocade edging. He wore a short traveling cape.His face was slim, his jaw was strong, his eyes piercing, and his smile contagious. He held my gaze as he came forward, bowed, took my hand, and kissed it in greeting."Mistress Holly, we finally meet," he murmured in deep, warm voice.I couldn't speak. I just stared, a silly smile on my face.The emissary from the Elfen court was drop-dead gorgeous.................................................................................Includes bonus content from The Pirates of Moonlit Bay................................................................................
