Gwen travels to Ireland to visit her cousin Findabhair, expecting a summer of backpacking, late nights, and the usual road trip adventures. But when Findabhair is kidnapped by the King of Faerie, Gwen must race to save her cousin before the rise of the Hunter's Moon, when the fairies need a human sacrifice.
This first novel in The Chronicles of Faerie was praised for 'Melling's taut plotting, with its unexpected turns, [that] moves the story quickly to a climax and leaves readers wanting more.' (School Library Journal)
