Meghan Chase has a secret destiny-one she could never have imagined...

Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school...or at home. When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change. But she could never have guessed the truth - that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face...and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart.

This series should be read in order.

The Faery realms have always weathered the clash of Summer and Winter fey, the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Now a new breed of faery has emerged to challenge both - to their peril. Forged by Man's insatiable pursuit of technological superiority, the terrifying Iron fey are massing...and the fate of all faeries hangs in the balance. The greatest weapon in this epic magical war? A half-human teenage girl.

Note: The companion series to the Iron Fey is called The Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten. It follows the story of 17-year-old Ethan, as he struggles to settle in to a new school and to deal with his Sight – a special ability to see fey and the trouble they plan to bring down on humans. It's recommended to read Call of the Forgotten after reading The Iron Fey, however, they are standalone series.
