The Iron Traitor

Gr 8 Up—Try as he might, Ethan Chase cannot escape the Fey. They kidnapped him as a child and now, at 18, he has been pulled back into the Nevernever, a realm he hoped never to see again. His previously unknown half-fey nephew has disappeared, and Ethan may be the only one who can locate him. Unaware of the prophecy foretelling his death at Kierran's hands (which is why his sister tried to keep the two apart), Ethan agrees to help Kierran find a way to save his love, Annwyl, from fading out of existence. When forays into dark magic fail to do anything more than prolong Annwyl's fate, their quest leads them deep into the Summer and Winter realms on an adventure that could mean death for them both. Once again, Kagawa utilizes forbidden love to drive her heroes into dangerous and unfamiliar territory. With Ethan's prophesied death looming over the story, readers will find themselves continuously on the edges of their seats. "Iron Fey" fans will revel in the reappearance of familiar characters and new readers will be drawn deep into a new and dangerous world. The final pages will leave readers breathlessly awaiting the next volume. Recommended for libraries owning previous titles in the series.—Jessica Miller, West Springfield Public Library, MA
