Meanwhile, it is time for the yearly exchange of the Scepter of the Seasons, when Oberon’s Summer Court passes power to Mab’s Winter Court. As Book Two starts, Mag is at Mab’s palace, waiting to be summoned.Īt the Winter Court of Mab, Ash must pretend not to have any feelings for Meg, because it would be too dangerous for both of them to show such “weakness.” (He warned her he would have to do this, but she still is stunned and devastated by it, seeming not remember that Ash assured her it was only a necessary ploy.) Meg’s doubts lead her to think about taking up with Puck, who has always been in love with her. At the end of Book One, Ash came to Meg’s house to retrieve her. Ash had made a contract with Meg to help her defeat The Iron King if she agreed to return with him to Mab’s Court. In the process of rescuing him and returning him home, she also managed to defeat Machina – The Iron King, and to fall in love with Prince Ash, son of Mab, Queen of the Winter Faery Court. She stumbled upon these truths after the abduction of her little brother, Ethan, by a goblin. She also learned her BFF Robbie was actually Robin Goodfellow, or Puck, sent by Oberon to protect her. (See my review of Book One, The Iron King, here.) In the previous book, we were introduced to Meghan Chase, age 16, who discovered she is actually the half-fey daughter of Oberon, King of the Summer Faery Court. Note: There are of necessity spoilers for Book One in this series, but none for this book, Book Two.
