Princess Aislin is half-fairy, half-pedrasi (mountain people who possess incredible strength), but she has the "sturdier" figure of the pedrasi side. When an enemy human king takes her hostage, Aislin must use all of her powers, magical and otherwise, to save her home. Aislin is a compelling heroine, proving her strength against fantastical beasts as well as the human girls who bully her.
