About this eBook
In the realm of very scary faeries, no one is safe.
Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces the sixteen-year-old back to her childhood home. There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms—a struggle that could very well mean her death.
Holly Black's enormously powerful voice weaves teen angst, riveting romance, and capriciously diabolical faerie folk into an enthralling, engaging, altogether original reading experience.

My favorite book. I recommend this book to anyone who likes the dark/bad kind of faery tales. I've owned this book for 10yrs now & still pick it up to read every so often...reminds me of the teen I used to be....maybe that's why I like it so much

I've read hundreds of books. This still is one of my favorites! People who eared it low, just don't know anything about faerie lore or good fiction:) They are just being ignorant. This is q gem. A must read!
