In this steampunk faerie tale, Noli Braddock takes a flying car out for a joyride and ends up in reform school. There, an innocent wish summons Kevighn, a handsome man who takes Noli to the Realm of Faerie. But this isn't a rescue. Kevighn wants to use Noli as a blood sacrifice to restore his dying world. A hoverboard appeared in her rearview mirror. ?This is the Los Angeles Air Patrol,? a voice boomed. ?I command you to land your vehicle in the name of the law.? Noli Braddock and her best friend V's incident with a flying auto have landed them in a heap of trouble. And when Noli is sent to a spirit-squelching reform school in San Francisco, she's sure that her rebellious adventures are over. Meanwhile, Kevighn Silver has been ordered by the Faerie Queen to bring a mortal girl back to the Otherworld. The magic requires a blood sacrifice every seven years, and only a mortal girl who shines with the Spark-a girl like Noli-will keep the Otherworld from complete destruction. When an ill-timed wish sends Noli tumbling into the Otherworld, she's more homesick than ever . . . until V arrives to save her from an untimely demise. But who exactly is V? And if he helps Noli escape, who will save the realm of Faerie from utter annihilation? AGES: 12 to 18 AUTHOR: Suzanne Lazear is the author of the Aether Chronicles series for young adult.
