They must return to Thule and warn the Uriel...before it's too late.

Melissa Crawford thinks she's just a regular teenage girl. She goes to school. She has friends, boy problems, homework...you know, the typical teenage angst. But she couldn't be more wrong, for Melissa Crawford is not a mortal. Her adoptive mortal mother refused to give her up and hired a witch to erase the enchanting Faery child's memory, not realizing that things aren't that simple. You see, when she was a little girl, Melissa promised herself forever to her Leannan Sidhe (mate), a Fae Prince, and a promise to Fae is sacred. When the Fae Prince comes back to claim what's his, nothing will get in his way. "Mortals are so arrogant. So utterly narcissistic to think that they are the only intelligence in this world, to believe their realm is the only realm, their way is the only way. "Many of you believe us fairies only exist in little kids' fairy tales. We are so much more than that. We exist, living in the Realm just a blink away from yours. A few wrong turns in the park or the forest and you're there. We sometimes walk among you, and you're not even aware of it. Believe me, we exist. Across the globe, your kind calls us and our realm by different names...but as William Shakespeare once said- a rose by any other name..."

Red is not your usual Hood. At twenty-one, she's not going to marry the Leader's son. She wants someone who loves her for her. So when Wolvric comes around, war might break out. ---- "My dear Red, what a beautiful voice you have." I whirled around, the voice behind me. It was a wolf. He had dark gray fur and gray-silver eyes. "Y-you talk?" I stammered, pressing my basket close to my body. "Of course my dear," He chided, his ears flicking. "Have any of you Hoods any brains?" He suddenly transformed into a human. A very handsome human. He had black hair like I did, but gray and white streaked through. His eyes were the same steely gray as before. He was draped in all black: tight black shirt and dark black jeans. "We transform between human and wolf, sweetie." His voice was smooth and deep, captivating me. "Don't call me sweetie," I hissed. "Ooh, feisty huh, Red?" (Editing. And new cover!)
