As they explore the world together they discover that the Fairies are at war with The Shadows. The Shadows wants to destroy the dreams, and the Queen wants to preserve the dreams of the world.


All Aisling wants to do is save her 'sister' from the shadow realm. But what will she discover if she continues down this path?


I absolutely loved this book. It is refreshing to read a book that makes me want to read more. The characters are each different and unique that give the world the since of wonder that makes you want to read more. The characters uniqueness gives you the feeling that you connect to them.


Mark creates a world of wonder and magic with each page. The world is full of lies, truth, and that grey area in the middle. Mark creates a world where his wonderful characters have to determine what is the truth and what is a lie.


Come Join Aisling and Genevieve in the wondrous tale, while I wait for the next part of the story.
