YA
Privileged Phoebe, living in the shadow of her "extraordinary" family, is drawn to strange new-girl Mallory; the two become inseparable. Interspersed "Conversation[s] with the Faerie Queen" reveal that Mallory is not what she appears, and that Phoebe is a cog in a mission to collect a debt for the faerie folk. Werlin smoothly blends contemporary realism and fantasy in this suspenseful tale.
