The Iron King

This is the first book in the popular Iron Series by Julie Kagawa. Meghan Chase is just a normal teenager, who has never felt at home in her house or school. Meghan thought her birthday couldn’t get any worse than previous birthdays. She was so, so wrong. Her brother Ethan has been kidnapped by strange things in the dark. Meghan, with the help of her friend Robbie Goodfell, must get Ethan back to rid themselves of the changeling left in her brother’s place. Now, Meghan must travel to Faery to save Ethan, and find Meghan’s destiny. Some of the characters names sound like they’re from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. There is some romance in this story, with action, and adventure. You will love this opening book.

The Iron Daughter

Inconsequently, the seasons are changing in the real world, so the powers in Faery are changing. The Iron Realm is growing. More faeries are turning to the Iron Court. Soon there will be a war between iron and the seasons. Meghan and Ash are exiled.
