Twelve-year-old Isaac O'Connor hates visiting his relatives in Ireland. But when his cousin leads him deep into the forest of Knockma on Halloween night, he's swept up by a host of creatures once thought to be myth.
Waking the next day in the Faerie Rath of Daithi's Leabha, Isaac finds that ten years have passed in a single night . . . and he's not alone. An impossibly beautiful Aes Sídhe named Sive has been left with Isaac, abandoned in the human world. Together they must stave off formidable hordes of destructive creatures called Fomoire, as they search for a way to send Sive through the Veil: home to the Otherworld.
Based on the poem "The Stolen Child" by Irish poet W.B. Yeats.

Goblins, Orcs, Dragons, Dwarves, Kitsunes...there are countless races, and countless abilities. A world of fantasy in which anything is achievable. Or so it seems. After all, everything has a cost. And victory...victory is the most costing of all. Across the Black Sea, guarded by the Leviathan, there exists a large land separated into five territories. Celestia, Arvan, Ingres, Illicen, and Arumi. These five territories are named after those who control them. At least, that is how it used to be. From a distant land, the Snake Kingdom managed to bypass the Leviathan, and invade these five territories! Under the guidance of General Clauve, they crushed everyone in sight, until their only remaining opponent was Celestia. But they made a mistake, and Celestia capitalized.

After all, her dear cousin must deliver a letter to her. A letter telling her that the Snake Kingdom is on the rise in their very own land. A letter telling her that every sliver of happiness she has gained after the war ended will be lost. A letter telling her that she must return to war...Complete
