Ever so long ago, the Faerie Queen created rings to allow children to pass through the magical portals that connect the worlds. Now, two children separated by a century and an ocean will meet in the most extraordinary way possible.
Meet Victoria Deveney, a spunky eleven year old english aristocrat from 1890. One night, while visiting her uncle Dexter, Victoria stumbles upon a secret tower room containing a book of mysterious poems and a powerful ring. On impulse, Victoria puts on the ring and steps through a door, and is magically transported to Alton Bay, New Hampshire, nearly one hundred years in the future. There she meets Elliot Good, who has also found a ring.
Together, they must save the worlds from the evil sorceress, Queen Ulricke and her fearsome shadow knight. But can they finish their quests in time? Or will the shadow knight grow too powerful for even Ulricke to command? Read the book to find out!
This book seems pretty slow at first, but give it time to grow on you and you'll soon realize what a good book it is. The whole Faerie concept is pretty well planned out and the characters are pretty interesting. Victoria seems like a brat at first, but she's full of depth that will surprise you. Elliot, on the other hand, is pretty much what he seems to be, with a few shocking twists. All in all, it's a really good book, and I even think there's a sequel. So if you're a lover of good old fashioned faeries, this is definitely a good read for you.
