short summary
  • Holly Blue is now the Ruler of the Realm and must decide whether to attack the Faeries of the Night or accept their offer of an alliance. She decides to consult an Oracle but while there she and Henry suddenly vanish. Pyrgus and Nymphalis of the Forest Faeries team up to investigate. (en)
  • After two years living in the human realm, Henry Atherton is miserable. A visit from his old friend Pyrgus and his wife, Nymphalis, reveals that a disease called Temporal Fever is spreading through The Realm, causing inflicted faeries' aging process to speed up. Henry's old employer, Mr. Fogarty, also has the disease. Henry returns to The Realm to try to persuade him to go to the Analogue World, where the disease has no effect. Henry gets to speak to him, but while he is in the portal room, Fogarty dies. Queen Holly Blue informs him of Fogarty's passing, but before they can speak properly, Madame Cardui transports Henry to an unknown location. Blue has her put under house arrest, but she escapes. Meanwhile, Silas Brimstone, a demonologist, and his business partner, Jasper Chalkhill, are transporting precious cargo from the realm to a secret place in the wasteland country, Bunther, called the Mountains of Madness. After the cargo is stowed, Silas calls forth a beast called The Midgard Serpent, Jormungand, which attacks Chalkhill. Blue and her older brother Pyrgus travel to the mansion of Madame Cardui's late husband where they confront her. She explains that she sent Henry away because Fogarty had a vision in which Henry would find the cure for Temporal Fever, but that he also had a second vision where Henry wouldn't and all of Faerie World became infected. His vision also showed Pyrgus coming to speak with her, but Blue was not in the vision, showing that an alternate future has now been created. In Bunther, Henry appears in a Vaettir's lair, barely escaping its attack. After wandering aimlessly in the desert, he collapses. Hours later, he awakens to find himself the care of a blue-skinned boy called Lorquin who helps Henry recover. In exchange, Henry helps him kill The Draugr, the mother of the Vaettirs. Afterwards, Lorquin takes Henry to the Luchti's secret city under desert where Henry stays a few days until he receives a message from Fogarty telling him he must go to the Mountains of Madness to save Blue from the Midgard Serpent. Lorquin goes with him to the mountains, where they confront Jormungand, which has turned into a dragon by Loki, and send it back to its own reality. Afterwards, they discover that the Temporal Fever was caused by an angel that had been trapped by SIlas Brimstone. When Henry releases it, the fever disappears and all those afflicted return to normal with the exception of those who died. Those people remained dead. Henry gathers his courage and proposes to Blue, in which she accepts. (en)
  • Apatura Iris, the late Purple Emperor, returns from the dead on the eve of Pyrgus's coronation. Under the control of Lord Hairstreak, he makes Comma become the Purple Emperor, who in turn exiles Pyrgus and Holly. The exiles find allies in the Painted Lady and the reclusive Forest Faeries. Henry returns to the Purple Palace unaware of the coup. Temporarily reduced to miniature size by faulty transportation, he encounters a scary spider, a mad queen and a rug-like endolg, a creature which can tell the truthfulness of anyone's intentions. (en)
  • When the prince of the Realm, the faerie world, Pyrgus Malvae, is in danger, his father, the Purple Emperor, has him "translated" to the Analogue world, Earth. There he finds human allies in Henry and Mr. Fogarty. Meanwhile, the Prince of Darkness, Beleth, is trying to incite a civil war so he can use the distraction to invade the Realm of the Faeries himself. (en)
  • Sixteen years after the events in Faerie Lord, Henry and Blue's daughter, Culmella Chrysotenchia, also known as Mella, decides to visit the Analogue World to visit Henry's mother. After meeting with Henry's annoying sister Aisling, a portal miscalculation sends them to Haleklind. Meanwhile, Hairstreak, now a head in a box, orders his assassin, Chalkhill, to find the girl and bring her back. Chalkhill, brings his old partner Silas Brimstone and his invisible, powerful partner "George" back from the asylum, where he stayed after turning crazy, to help him search for Mella. Mella overhears a plot in Haleklind to overthrow the Empire. Queen Holly Blue and King Consort Henry Atherton narrowly escape an encounter with dangerous plants after a daring escape from Chalkhill's manor, where Chalkhill and Brimstone held them captive. In the meantime, Pyrgus discovers that Haleklind is breeding Manticores, powerful magical creatures, and planning on invading the Empire with the great herds. Meanwhile, Aisling and Mella caught, and lose their memories with a lethe. Hairstreak, now managed to find himself an artificial body more powerful than ever, retrieves them. Unexpectedly, he falls in love with Aisling, who now helps him. Mella escapes from Hairstreak, despite not knowing who she is. She then meets Mella II, a clone of her that was made by Hairstreak to help his plot and rule the realm for him. Mella II explains who Mella is, and the two of them are brought by Manticores to meet George, who is actually the God Yidam, and leads the herd of Manticores. On the brink of war, Pyrgus travels to Haleklind to try to stop the Manticores without harming them. However, with Mella and Mella II's help, the Manticores leave the border for war. Mella and Mella II are then taken back to the palace, and Hairstreak decides to marry Aisling. (en)
