If you are wondering why I am not dead, it's because I ran far away from the war in Faeria. These winged butterfly people, the Phaenix, wanted me to fight their war. Something about a prophecy from long ago....blah, blah, blah. Who cares? Instead, I hightailed it out of there when all seemed hopeless. A big mistake! I know. Some monkey lizard blowhard, named Fragile, is going to finish his genocidal mission. That will hurt my friends: Mollet, the beefy warrior dude, Caitilin, the helicopter mom, and Hinson, the chiseled philosophy major.

So basically, everyone in Faeria is running around like headless chickens. The Queen is having a royal fit. The holy people are crying to the sky. Meanwhile, I am wondering where Kioko is; the bubbly high school chick who was really nice to me. She will take my mind off this gruesome war.

But, I abandoned my friends. Why can't I let it go? Do they need me? Can I undo my mistake?
Anyway, enjoy the book. It has lots of peril, action, swords, random fires, redemption, and relationship defining talks.
