YA
Princess Tania, her sister Rathina, and mortal medical student Connor continue their desperate journey to find a cure for the plague sweeping Faerie. Dark magic, legendary adversaries, and betrayal beset the trio at every turn. Action and suspense spur the plot through occasional slides into sappiness. Tania's familial relationships, particularly with prodigal Rathina, resonate despite the often stilted pseudo-Elizabethan dialogue.
