Never Lore Series

Whoever described "sciamachy" as a false fight with one's shadow, lied!   While exploring a forbidden labyrinth and home to the most powerful magical texts in all Fairy, Princess Gloria of the Gossamer Court confronts an imp with flaming hair who separates her from her dark side—her shadow. Before she can protest, she launches in pursuit of the shady-self, who is bent upon assassinating her brother to "correct" the order of succession in her favor.   Desperate to protect the Gossamer Court from—ahem—herself, Gloria will have to make some risky deals and unlikely alliances. It's a race against time as she strikes out on a journey to assemble a death-cheating list of spell ingredients to create the magic to repossess her dark side. In the process, she'll discover what she's truly made of.  

NOTICE: Explosive content contained within. (Rebel boys and indomitable girls have always been a combustible combination.)   All the signs of Fairy's unraveling were there: a strict rationing of pixie dust; the disappearance of a magical species; a reckless reliance on spies plucked from human orphanages. Annabelle was no orphan. Her father was perhaps the most infamous man in Childerbridge—and she'd never live down the shame of it, though she'd also never accept that the charges against him were true—not most of the time.   She'll have to go to the end of Never to prove what is true…about Never itself, about her father, and her own work-worn self.
