Friends and family gather to celebrate the wedding of the Iron Queen Meghan Chase’s brother...but one wedding guest feels more melancholic than the rest. The King of the Forgotten can’t forget his own lost love and slips away from the festivities...only to be attacked by a strange faery who calls him a fraud and a false king. Now the two must form a wary alliance to track a strange new threat, a creature of rage and hatred that threatens the newfound peace of Faery, in the opening to a grand new adventure in the enthralling world of the Iron Fey.

To cold faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. Until half-human, half-fey Meghan Chase won his icy heart and bound him to her with his oath to be her knight. But Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive. With an unlikely band of allies, Ash seeks a way to honor his vow to stand by Meghan’s side. To stay in the Iron Realm, he must have a soul and a mortal body. But the tests he must endure to earn these things are impossible.

Meghan Chase thought her time with the fey was over, that the sacrifices she had to make were done. But war is brewing as another Iron King rises to destroy the courts of Faery and corrupt the Nevernever forever. The age-old rivalry of the Summer and Winter courts must be put aside as the rulers prepare to face their mutual enemy…and Meghan must step up once more and finally claim her secret destiny. But first, she must make one final, heartbreaking sacrifice.

Shinji Takahashi is just an ordinary kid. An ordinary homeschooled smart-alecky orphan kid being raised by his globe-trotting aunt, Yui. But when a magical guardian decides to use him as a conduit to awaken its power, Shinji's life takes a turn for the anything-but-ordinary. Captured by the menacing Hightower Corporation, which is bent on using the guardian's magic for its own nefarious purposes, Shinji must team up with a brilliant young tech whiz named Lucy and her robot mouse, Tinker, in order to escape.

After his unexpected journey into the lands of the fey, Ethan Chase just wants to get back to normal. Well, as "normal" as you can be when you see faeries every day of your life. Suddenly the former loner with the bad reputation has someone to try for—his girlfriend, Kenzie. Never mind that he's forbidden to see her again. But when your name is Ethan Chase and your sister is one of the most powerful faeries in the Nevernever, "normal" simply isn't to be.

As Shinji struggles to understand and control his new guardian magic, the members of S.E.A. learn that a sunken ship belonging to the long extinct Natia people has been found on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. Shinji, Lucy and Tinker, along with Oliver Ocean and Phoebe Mystic, a quirky, enthusiastic magic expert who has been called in to help Shinji, head off to check out the wreckage, hoping to get there before the Hightower Corporation can plunder the site, and picking up a young stowaway by the name of Roux along the way.

Die Gestaltwandlerin Yumeko hat eine gefährliche Mission: Sie muss eine hochgeheime Pergamentrolle in Sicherheit bringen. Gerät das Schriftstück in die falschen Hände, könnte ein einziger böser Wunsch das ganze Reich für immer in die Finsternis stürzen. In dem wortkargen Samurai Tatsumi hatte sie einen starken Begleiter gefunden, der ihr Freund und Vertrauter wurde - und sogar ein wenig mehr. Doch Yumeko hat auch einen unberechenbaren Feind: den Dämon Hakaimono, der Jahrhunderte lang in das Samuraischwert Tatsumis gebannt war.

Die junge Yumeko ist eine Gestaltwandlerin - halb Mensch, halb Füchsin. Im Kloster der Schweigenden Winde lernt sie ihre magischen Kräfte zu kontrollieren. Doch eines Nachts greifen mörderische Dämonen den Tempel an und setzen ihn in Brand. Yumeko gelingt es zu fliehen, mit einem letzten Vermächtnis der Mönche in der Tasche: einer geheimnisvollen Pergamentrolle. Darauf befindet sich der Teil einer uralten Beschwörung, die so gefährlich ist, dass sie einst in drei Teile zerrissen und an verschiedenen Orten aufbewahrt wurde.
