Pillywiggin · The Complete Story Arc
A betrayal and a dire warning force a hidden fae prince to abandon his cover at an elite academy in the human realm and flee into a world far more dangerous than he imagined. For the first time in his life, everything he owns fits into a single backpack as he uncovers the truth behind the forces hunting him.
Across the realm, young fae captives who call themselves the Lost Shadow Boys are one day from becoming dragon food. Imprisoned since childhood in the brutal mines of the Mantlerealm, years of failed escape attempts have shaped them into hardened warriors. Their only hope is a prophecy foretelling that a girl will one day break in and free them.
The problem is, she doesn’t even know they exist.
And they are out of time.
At a live streamed Paris fashion event, Peter discovers that the mysterious girl he collides with is his twin sister after the Righteous Underdwellers place a bounty on her life. To survive, they must reveal what they are to the world.

An orphan and misfit from the wrong side of the pond, Chloe learned early that the knight in shining armor riding to save her was herself. Guided by intuition, she takes on a dangerous quest despite being completely terr
The only boy the witch never captured, he secretly slips in and out of the Mantlerealm bringing supplies and hope to the Lost Shadow Boys while staying one step ahead of the witch and her mystical hunters.
Protecting his tribe through strategy, discipline, and sacrifice, Jayce was cursed so he could never move against the witch. Now dark magic may be the only way left to save the boys.
The Mantlerealm is so hot that exposed Fae wings would instantly burn, so the boys to tuck theirs inside their backs and use inventions to fly.
Contrasts. Light and dark. Beautiful though judgmental. Hellacious yet nurturing. Circumstances shape them.
