The Beast and the Briar — Robert Drewe

Thirteen-year-old Aisling Mason had always loved to tell faerie stories, she just never expected to end up right in the middle of one. Still, Aisling had made her choice; she had come to the Seven Realms of her own accord in order to save her niece and nephew. She's just not sure what to do about her newfound destiny. On her journey through this unfamiliar world, Aisling will encounter all manner of dark creatures: cursed princesses, hungry trolls, bloodthirsty werewolves, feral children, and capricious elves to name a few. Hopefully, with the help of a chickenhearted changeling and two talented twins, Aisling might just be able to fulfill the prophecy, break the curse that lies upon the Seven Realms, and win her way back home.
