The Uncrowned Queen

Situated in Beth-Hill, where imagination meets reality, is The Rose Emporium, owned by elderly and not-a-little-odd Rose Duncan. The large Victorian house smackdab in the middle of nowhere is a cross between a pawn shop and an antique store that caters to supernatural creatures needing to barter. Roses twenty-something niece, Abby Duncan, discovers that the world isnt made up of just run-of-the-mill, ordinary humans but an entire spectrum of unusual beings. With her preconceptions about whats normal and whats not turned upside-down, Abby is in for a whole lot of startling truths, mysteries--about herself and the people and places around her--and danger.

Abby Duncans elderly Aunt Rose has always been a bit odd. And now shes off on a mysterious trip, leaving Abby behind to run the Rose Emporium, an unusual sort of antique shop. Such an extraordinary store would have been a perfect place for Seth and the others, her friends from the Renaissance Festival, to take a break from traveling between Faires. But when tragedy strikes and Abby and the others discover the true nature of the Rose Emporium, theyll have to travel into Faerie itself before their tightknit group is whole again.

Abby doesnt know much about her family history, but shes about to find out the truth...whether she likes it or not.
