In the third and final book (The Falconer; The Vanishing Throne), Aileana is newly risen from the dead. War is inevitable in the fae realm, and Aileana must use a book, her new abilities, and her personal connection to the Unseelie king to stop it. A gripping folkloric fantasy etched with painful romance; followers of the trilogy will be satisfied.

In The Falconer, fae-hunter Aileana sought vengeance for her mother's murder. In the second book of the trilogy, Aileana is trapped and tortured in the faery realm. When she finally returns home to Scotland, she finds a ruined world overrun by evil. Part fae epic, part steampunk, this entrancing tale weaves together lore, action, and romance, though italicized inner dialogue grows tiresome.

YA
Lady Aileana Kameron is the Falconer, a fae-hunting warrior bent on avenging her mother's murder by a vicious faery. She struggles to balance the niceties of nineteenth-century Scottish nobility and her violent purpose as she begins a romance with the mysteriously exiled Daoine Sith, Kiaran. The flashy combination of steampunk technologies and Scottish faery lore will draw many to the new trilogy.
