The second book in the critically acclaimed Chronicles of Faerie series
In this book, which School Library Journal called "lyrical and mesmerizing," eighteen-year-old Laurel arrives in Ireland on the anniversary of her sister's mysterious death, to take up her twin's failed mission to find the Summer King and save Faerie. As Laurel sets her cynicism aside and becomes caught up in dark secrets and old hatreds, she harbors a desperate dream of her own—to save her sister.
With its layers of fantasy and reality, The Summer King invites readers to travel between two worlds in the company of a master storyteller.
