(ages 12 and up) Although life in a magical realm is anything but normal for Princess Willow Farrandale of Mistolear (formerly Willow Kingswell of Earth), she is doing her best to adjust. She is refining her skills at Mage School and spending time with her new friends, especially her sworn knight and protector Brand - despite the fact that he drives her mad with his old - fashioned rules about "proper courtship."The peace does not last, however, as a misstep in Clarion dooms Willow to play another twisted faerie Game. If she loses, faeries will once again be free to wreak havoc in the realms of Mistolear and Earth. The Game Master, King Jarlath of the Unseelie Court, throws Willow and Brand into the Goblin's Gauntlet where goblins, phookas, and a host of bloodthirsty creatures are on the hunt. In a surprising move, Jarlath sends his own children into the Game as well. Dacia, the female twin, is ruthless and cunning. Theon, the male, is clever, flirtatious, and, like all faeries, devastatingly beautiful. Willow struggles to resist Theon's charm, while Brand's jealousy simmers - but with the fate of two realms hanging in the balance, both must push their emotions aside. Can Willow and Brand trust the faerie siblings, or is there more than one Game being played?
