Queen Blue is suspicious when Hairstreak proposes a truce between the warring faeries. While they debate this treaty, the faerie demons of the night plot a hostile takeover.

"A great and touching ending to this quartet of books. Involves a lot of action and some romance. Definitely geared towards lower teen readers with the nice short chapters, but an enjoyable read even for an adult. I just wish there were more books than these four."

Henry is nervous because he has to be with Blue and he likes her and when a guy is near a girl he likes he's usually nervous. Well Blue's brother Pyrgus got sick and started to age rapidly but thanks to the wizard healer they like stop time for his body so he won't die but then he litterally stops too. Nymph his wife was really sad about this she really loved him a bit obssesed also. Well they find out that Henry is the one who finds the cure but they must follow these instructions in order to get the cure. Can't believe it was all the angels fault that cause the disease but Henry freed it and the disease went away and the people was cured. Henry marries Blue in the end. Happy ending. "

" Oh, author, know when to quit. A brilliant first book and a competent second is enough. Stop while you are ahead, the old chestnut is still edible. "

" A nice conclusion to the series. The book itself wasn't as fun or innovative as the others. But it was still fun! "

" I wonderful finale and an incredible story. it ended in the way I had hoped, not predictable, just a great ending. So you know I hate a book that does not have a happy ending, Sorry if this ruins it! "

" As great as the previous. Luckily Henry did "as expected". Or else, that might have been a disappointment? But of course, a twist here and there makes it lovely <3 "

" It was interesting, if somewhat violent. I prefer a happy fairy land filled with pixie dust and sunshine. "
— Sheri, 3/12/2012 -
" wow. all I can say without spoilers is I'm really impressed by the wide range of mythologies that were pulled into the series. Impressive creativity, and I've read plenty of urban faery tales/fantasies. "

" i love this fantasy rubbish!! "
— Zainab, 6/3/2011 -
" Fourth book in the Fairies Wars Chronicle. Not a bad read (some very good, other parts a bit slow or cheesy). Solid young adult fantasy fiction. Wouldn't put it on a "must read list" but worth the time to check out if you are looking for a new series. "
— Lance, 3/12/2009 -
" by far his best book in this series. interested to know if he is going to continue the story or not. "
— Alana, 11/12/2007 -
" The 4th (and final!) book in the Faerie Wars series. It was good, like the others, but I was ready for the series to end. Good characters and interesting twists on typical fantasy elements. "
