Petra Maguire, newly crowned queen of the Carraig Sidhe, wishes she could focus on her own fledgling kingdom, but Faerie is facing threats unlike any seen in generations. If the Seelie are to have any hope of victory, she must unravel the mystery of the ancient power running through her veins.

Hunting down the rogue vampire who killed her mother is Petra Maguire's sole mission in life, despite her father’s urging to serve her people back home in Faerie. But when Petra discovers she has a changeling twin who’s been kidnapped, she can’t avoid Faerie affairs any longer. Plunging back into a world of magic, royalty, and power plays, her daring rescue of her sister pushes inter-kingdom hostilities to a tipping point. And suddenly, Petra is up to her eyeballs in Fae politics. This collection includes books one to three in the best-selling Stone Blood Series by Jayne Faith.

Petra Maguire wants to fight for her people, not rule them. But by Oberon's decree, she is now queen of the new Carraig Sidhe kingdom. Problem is, many of her subjects would rather see her dead than on the throne. As Petra struggles to unite her people, she must also join Jasper's quest to kill Finvarra before he can usher in a winter of Unseelie rule in Faerie. Torn between responsibilities, Petra will have to find a way to embrace her new role as royalty, while still staying true to her warrior roots.

Caught in a tug-of-war between three rulers - one of whom wants her dead - Petra made grave sacrifices to keep herself and her twin sister Nicole alive. But just surviving isn’t enough. The Unseelie are making their move on Faerie, and Seelie High King Oberon is still missing. If Oberon doesn’t return to defend his throne, the Unseelie will reign, Petra and Nicole will remain prisoners of their Unseelie blood father, and winter will descend on Faerie.

After her victory in the battle of champions, Petra thought she was a step closer to freedom from her sovereign and the politics of Faerie. But when she and Jasper, son of the enemy king, are sent on a mission together, she learns the shocking truth of her own bloodline and gets drawn even deeper into Fae struggles. To complicate matters, Petra can no longer deny her feelings for Jasper.
