When Henry Atherton returned to his own life in the suburbs of London,
he thought all was well in the Faerie Ream. His new friend Pyrgus, the
crown prince of Faerie, was about to be coronated as Purple Emperor.
But then Princess Holly Blue arrived on Earth, seeking Henry's help once
more.

A plot to assassinate Pyrgus is afoot, but that's not the
worst of their problems. Pyrgus's father, the murdered Purple Emperor,
has been raised from the dead by means of foul necromantic sorcery.
Now Lord Hairstreak and the sinister Faeries of the Night have seized
control of the Realm . . . and driven Pyrgus and his allies into hiding.

Henry
has no choice to return to the world of Faerie to aid his friends. But
that proves easier said than done when the mystical portal linking
their realms goes awry. Now Henry will have to scramble just to stay
alive in a fantastic world that's constantly full of surprises . . . and
danger.
Look for the other exciting books in this series: Faerie Wars, Ruler of the
Realm, Faerie Lord, and The Faeman Quest!

      The sequel to Faerie Wars, which, according to PW, "will bring much pleasure to fans of Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series, and to fantasy readers in general," takes readers back to the realm of Pyrgus Malvae and his royal family in The Purple Emperor by Herbie Brennan. Though the first book's battle saw the defeat of Lord Hairstreak and the Faeries of the Night, you can't keep a bad faerie down. Hairstreak and his minions are back with a sinister plan to take over the Faerie Realm: using dark magic, Hairstreak resurrects the recently assassinated Purple Emperor-Pyrgus's father-and turns him into a zombie servant. .
