The Unwanted Queen

The dramatic conclusion to Penny and Aiden's epic love story. As The Cartographer closes in, Penny and Aiden must fight to stay together as war-and Faerie itself-conspire to tear them apart. Penny Barclay thought eating Faerie's sacred fruit would keep the rebels from gaining the upper hand, but everything went wrong. Not only have the rebels found a foothold in Faerie and taken down the Mist, but Penny is under fire by the fae with their deep-rooted prejudices against mages. Even Aiden-or rather High King Aedon of Faerie-is rather put out with her. If she doesn't prove herself quickly, she'll have more enemies in Faerie than just the rebellion. With attacks mounting on every front, the newly appointed High King will need a miracle to keep his kingdom together. Just as Aiden was settling into his new role, everything unraveled. Now, not only must he get the warring Courts to see eye to eye, but he also must convince his entire kingdom that Penelope is not the villain they paint her as. As the rebellion gains support, Aiden's fight to keep the fae together is more imperative than ever. Penny and Aiden must unite the kingdom or watch their people-and their future together-perish at the brutal hands of the rebellion. The fate of mages and fae alike are in Penny and Aiden's hands as they race to stop The Cartographer before their plans could destroy magic as they know it for good. Perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer, Holly Black, and Kristin Cashore.
