About this eBook
A teen discovers she’s a fairy princess who must save the world in this young adult fantasy trilogy debut by a New York Times–bestselling author.
Everyone, at some point in life, dreams that they are secretly a king or queen or wizard of a far-off land. Someday their true identity will be revealed, and they will begin a new life of magic and power and love.
Teenager Ali Warner has reason to cling to such a fantasy. While hiking in the woods behind her house, Ali stumbles across a plot by the elementals—mysterious creatures who live in a neighboring dimension—to invade and destroy Earth. Not only that, she also discovers that she has been choose to stop the attack.
Why was Ali chosen? It is very possible that she is more than human.
To reclaim her magical abilities and her true identity, Alie sets out on a great adventure. This journey will take her far from home, through a series of dangerous tests that require courage, strength, and insight into life itself.
Accompanied by a devious leprechaun, a loyal troll, and three close friends, Ali strives to reach the top of a forbidden mountain and lay claim to the Yanti, an ancient talisman of great power that even the elementals cannot control.
Ali Warner is Alosha. Join her in her quest to save humanity.

Once again I've fallen in love with the characters. The creatures are interesting, scarey, gross and laughable.
