When Fairy Princess Rebecca agrees to become her tribe's next queen, she also agrees to let the Citizen's Council choose her husband from three carefully selected suitors: Edward, an old friend and son of the traitorous Count Bullierd; Alfred, the arrogant son of crown-seeking Duchess Beatrice; and Hugh Lawson, a Plant Fairy half-prince who already loves Rebecca. Peace in the tribe is already coming at a high price, but the secret pirate build-up (discovered only after the four tribes begin sharing information) poses a threat to all of Fairydom.

The youngest daughter of the silver fairy king, Rebecca’s life up to now has been—in a word—sheltered. Her extensive education has prepared her for almost any situation she could expect to encounter, but no one thought to teach her how to handle her first brush with love, let alone being kidnapped by traitors. She only has her father's sense of humor, her mother's sense of pride, and the hope that her friends will rescue her in time. She will have to draw on half-forgotten pearls of wisdom to survive these coming ordeals without bringing shame upon herself or her house.
