Description
A few points of interest about Faeries:
They don’t have wings and are actually quite tall.
They can’t touch iron but they can do magic.
They will kidnap you and sell you into indentured servitude if you’re not careful.
(It’s really the kidnapping thing that you should probably pay the most attention to.)
Owen Grey – twelve years old and sick of his summer routine of homework and chores – didn’t know a thing about Faeries. So it’s not really his fault that he doesn’t know the risks when a charming burglar named Dumas shows Owen the way through a magic painting and into the Faerie Kingdoms. Promptly kidnapped and sold to a very short, very rich, very bitter man named Trench, Owen has to figure out how to escape. This would be a lot easier if Trench’s castle wasn’t filled with mysterious rooms, Goblin prisoners, magic wands, glowing eels, and Faerie nobility in disguise. It would also be easier if Owen’s freedom didn’t also mean the return of the terrifying Stone King – a man who can make the dead speak. Owen’s going to have to choose: save the Faerie Kingdoms and never see his family again or escape and let a magical realm burn.
