The third instalment of this epic fantasy aimed at teenage readers is perfect for fans of the Twilight series but in our opinion a lot better. We recommend you read them in order. The first is The Iron King, then the second The Iron Daughter and finally the third The Iron Queen.
In less than twenty four hours, I'll be seventeen. Although, technically, I won't actually be turning seventeen. I've been in the Nevernever too long. When you're in Faery, you don't age. So while a year has passed in the real world, agewise I'm probably only a few days older than when I went in. In real life, I've changed so much I don't even recognize myself. My name is Meghan Chase. I thought it was over. That my time with the fey, the impossible choices I had to make, the sacrifices of those I loved, was behind me. But a storm is approaching, an army of Iron fey that will drag me back, kicking and screaming. Drag me away from the banished prince who's sworn to stand by my side. Drag me into the core of conflict so powerful, I'm not sure anyone can survive it. This time, there will be no turning back.
Julie Kagawa was born in Sacramento, California, but at the age of nine
she and her family moved to Hawaii, which she soon discovered was
inhabited by large carnivorous insects, colonies of house geckos and
frequent hurricanes. She spent much of her time in the ocean, when she
wasn’t getting chased out of it by reef sharks, jellyfish and the odd
eel.
When not swimming for her life, Julie immersed herself in
books and her love of reading lead her to pen some very dark and
gruesome stories. The gory tales faded with time, but the passion for
writing remained, long after she graduated and was supposed to get a
real job.
To pay the rent, Julie worked in different bookstores
over the years and as a professional dog trainer until she stopped
training to write full-time.
