'The fairies have a secret they’re just dying to protect…

'Emma knows breaking the rules can get you into trouble; it nearly got her sister killed. That’s why Emma’s stuck in backwater Nowra, Australia, under temporary witness protection with no friends—and no life.

'So when Emma has to break the rules to retrieve the runaway family dog, she decides the fairy she sees is clearly a guilt-induced hallucination. Problem is, hallucinations don’t usually send you invites to Fairyland—and shadows don’t usually chase you home.

'It would be easy to ignore the invite.
It would be sensible to avoid the shadows.

'But when Emma’s only new friend is snatched by the shadows in the middle of the night, Emma knows she has a decision to make: stick to the rules and leave her friend and dog to die, or risk her own life to save them.' (Publication Summary)

'Sanctuary is a place of safety—or so the fairies say... Edge is ready to return to a normal life, after beating back the shadows and defeating the Valley. Even Scott—bane of her existence—has been relatively well behaved since their encounter. But when Edge's best friend, Gem, collapses in class, Edge realises the Valley's evil shadows are back. Worse, this time they're targeting Gem. With Gem banned from Sanctuary by the fairies, the only person left to turn to is Scott, who knows firsthand what it's like to be possessed by the Valley. But convincing him to help is going to be tough. Time is against her. The fairies are unforgiving, and even if Edge succeeds, the cost may be her access to Sanctuary itself. But anything is worth it, if she can save her friend.' (Publication Summary)

'This is what the fairies never wanted you to know...

'Edge Tanning gets things done. She vanquished the shadows that were threatening Sanctuary, she saved her best friend from the Valley--and she called the power of Sanctuary, magical home of the fairies, to life. So now that Sanctuary's broken, obviously, she has to fix it.

'Only problem is, she's not used to working alone--and this time, none of her friends want to help. In fact, when Edge senses Sanctuary mysteriously appearing around her while she's at school, her friends won't even believe her.

'And that's before she learns that time in Sanctuary isn't just running out--it's skipping sideways. This may just be too big for one teen girl to handle.

'Brace yourself for the exciting conclusion to the Sanctuary series: this is what the fairies have been hiding.'
