Id expected to die that day. I was ready. Being ordered by my True Name to walk away, leaving Meghan to die alone in the Iron Kingdom, nearly shattered me a second time. If it wasnt for my oath to be with her again, I mightve done something suicidal, like challenge Oberon to a battle before the entire Summer Court. But now that Ive made my promise, there is no turning back. Abandoning my vow will unravel me, bit by bit, until there is nothing left. Even if I wasnt determined to find a way to survive in the Iron Realm, Id have no choice but to continue.
I will be with her again, or I will die. There arent any other options.
Meghan is a likable heroine and her quest is fraught with danger
and adventure Expect it to be popular with teens
who liked Melissa Marrs Wicked Lovely.

Team Ash, this one is for you.
Oy, ice-boy! You sure you know where youre going?
I ignored Robin Goodfellow as we wove through the gray murk of the wyldwood, pushing farther into the soggy swamp known as the Bone Marsh. Mud sucked at my footsteps, and water dripped from twisted green trees so covered in moss they appeared sheathed in slime. Mist coiled around the exposed roots or pooled in sunken areas, hiding what lay beneath, and every so often there was a splash in the still waters farther out, reminding us that we were not alone. As its name suggested, bones were scattered throughout the marsh, jutting out of the mud, half-hidden in tangles of weeds or shimmering beneath the surface of the water, bleached and white. This was a dangerous part of the wyldwood, more so than mostnot because of the catoblepas and the jabberwocks and other monsters that called the dark swamp their home, but because of the resident who lived somewhere deep within the marsh.
The one we were going to see.
Something flew past my head from behind, barely missing me, and spattered against a trunk a few feet away. Stopping beneath the tree, I turned and glared at my companion, silently daring him to do that again.
Oh, hey, it lives! Robin Goodfellow threw up his muddy hands in mock celebration. I was afraid it had become a zombie or something. He crossed his arms and smirked at me, mud streaking his red hair and speckling his pointed face. Did you hear me, ice-boy? Ive been yelling at you for some time now.
Yes, I said, repressing a sigh. I heard you. I think the jabberwocks on the other side of the swamp heard you.
Oh, good! Maybe if we fight a couple youll start paying attention to me! Puck matched my glare before gesturing around at the swamp. This is crazy, he exclaimed. How do we even know hes here? The Bone Marsh isnt exactly on my list of favorite vacation getaways, prince. You sure your contact knew what he was talking about? If this turns out to be another false lead I might turn that phouka into a pair of gloves.
I thought you wanted an adventure, I said, just to annoy him. Puck snorted.
Oh sure, dont get me wrong. Im all for tromping to all five corners of the Nevernever, getting chased by angry Summer Queens, sneaking into an ogres basement, fighting giant spiders, playing hide-and-seek with a cranky dragongood times. He shook his head, and his eyes gleamed, reliving fond memories. But this is like the sixth place weve come to look for that wretched cat, and if he isnt here Im almost afraid of where were going next.
You dont have to be here, I told him. Leave if you want. Im not stopping you.
Nice try, prince. Puck crossed his arms and smiled. But youre not getting rid of me that easily.
Then lets keep moving. It was getting dark, and his con stant chattering was getting on my nerves. Joking aside, I did not want to attract the attention of a hungry jabberwock and have to fight it in the middle of the swamp.
Oh, fine, Puck sighed, tromping along behind me. But if hes not here, I refuse to go to the Spider Queens palace with you, ice-boy. Thats where I draw the line.
M Y NAME, MY FULL , T RUE N AME , is Ashallayndarkmyr Tallyn, and I am the last son of the Unseelie Court.
There were three of us at one time, all princes of Winter, myself and my brothers, Sage and Rowan. I never knew my sire, never cared to know him, nor did my siblings ever speak of him. I wasnt even positive we shared the same sire, but it didnt matter. In the Unseelie Court, Mab was the sole ruler, the one and only queen. Handsome fey and even wayward mortals she might take to her bed, but Mab shared her throne with no one.
We were never close, my brothers and I. As princes of Winter, we grew up in a world of violence and dark politics. Our queen encouraged this, favoring the son who earned her good graces while punishing the others. We used each other, played vicious games against one another, but we were all loyal to our court and our queen. Or so Id thought.
There is a reason the Winter Court freezes out their emotions, why feelings are considered a weakness and a folly among the Unseelie fey. Emotion corrupts the senses, makes them weak, makes them disloyal to kith and court. Jealousy was a dark, dangerous passion that ate at my brother Rowan until he did the unthinkable and turned on his court, betraying us to our enemies. Sage, my eldest sibling, fell to Rowans treachery, and he was only the first. In a bid for power, Rowan sided with our greatest enemies, the Iron fey, helping their king nearly destroy the Nevernever. I killed Rowan in the end, avenging Sage and the rest of my kin, but retribution cannot bring either of them back. Its only me now. I am the last, the only remaining son of Mab, Queen of the Unseelie Court.
And Im already dead to her.
Rowan was not the only one to succumb to emotion and passion. My fall began, as many stories do, with a girl. A girl named Meghan Chase, the half-human daughter of our ancient rival, the Summer King. Fate brought us together, and despite everything I did to shield my emotions, despite the laws of our people and the war with the Iron fey and the threat of eternal banishment from my home, I still found myself falling for her. Our paths were woven together, our fates intertwined, and before the last battle I swore I would follow her to the end of the world, to protect her from all threats, including my own kin, and to die for her if called to do so. I became her knight, and would have gladly served this girl, this mortal who had captured my heart, until the last breath left my body.
