In this novella follow-up to Bewitching Season and Betraying
Season, sixteen-year-old Charles Leland is not looking
forward to his summer holidays from Eton—not when he has to
spend them studying history to make up for a less-than-
stellar grade last term. Even the thought of staying with
his sister Persy and her husband Lochinvar while his parents
are in Ireland can't cheer him up.
But cramming history quickly takes a back seat to finding
out what has happened to Persy, who disappears from home the
day he arrives. All signs indicate that she’s been abducted
by gypsies--but a gypsy boy named Nando convinces Charles
that her disappearance has a much more otherworldly
explanation.
Now Charles must brave the perils and sheer strangeness of
the fairy lands to try to rescue his sister from being
forcibly married to a powerful fairy lord. With the help of
the fairy lord’s own very pretty younger sister, a copy of
"History and Policy of the Norman and Angevin Kings" that
he's supposed to read for school before September, and Her
Majesty Queen Victoria, he just might do it. But will he
also be able to rescue himself?
