“Melissa Marr takes us back to her beautifully defined world, where we find Aislinn torn and feeling guilty as summer draws her closer and closer to Keenan, and Seth so jealous that Ash is spending so much time with Keenan and saddened that he is so easily hurt by both Ash and his best friend, Niall. Can they stay friends? Can their relationship survive? Will old allegiances hold as the courts jostle for power? Fragile Eternity reminds you of the events and people you fell in love with in Wicked Lovely and makes you pine for the concluding volume because this world simply won't get out of your head.”

-- Angela Mann, Kepler's Books & Magazine, Menlo Park, CA

Description

Seth never expected he would want to settle down with anyone—but that was before Aislinn. She is everything he'd ever dreamed of, and he wants to be with her forever. Forever takes on new meaning, though, when your girlfriend is an immortal faery queen.

Aislinn never expected to rule the very creatures who'd always terrified her—but that was before Keenan. He stole her mortality to make her a monarch, and now she faces challenges and enticements beyond any she'd ever imagined.

In Melissa Marr's third mesmerizing tale of Faerie, Seth and Aislinn struggle to stay true to themselves and each other in a milieu of shadowy rules and shifting allegiances, where old friends become new enemies and one wrong move could plunge the Earth into chaos.
