And it has attracted Nuala, a soul-snatching faerie muse who fosters and then feeds on the creative energies of exceptional humans until they die. James has plenty of reasons to fear the faeries, but as he and Nuala collaborate on an achingly beautiful musical composition, James finds his feelings towards Nuala deepening. But the rest of the fairies are not as harmless. As Halloween--the day of the dead--draws near, James will have to battle the Faerie Queen and the horned king of the dead to save Nuala's life and his soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a tumultuous past as a history major, calligraphy instructor, wedding musician, technical editor, and equestrian artist, \u003cstrong\u003eMaggie Stiefvater\u003c\/strong\u003e is now a full-time writer and \u003cem\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/em\u003ebestselling author of\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ethe Shiver trilogy\u003cem\u003e, The Scorpio Races, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Raven Boys. \u003c\/em\u003eHer debut series, the Books of Faerie, is published by Flux.
