In these four installments, Soli, imprisoned by the Crow king, becomes a student of her enemy, as best friend Lucy works with the faeries to plot Soli's escape. A final battle ensues to save the kingdoms, and Lucy discovers her mother's connection to the faerie world. Bizarre-looking photorealistic illustrations create a magical if unsettling element; the plots remains clipped and overly simplistic. A less expensive trade edition that includes all four volumes is also available.
