Jack of Kinrowan

A faceless gang of bikers on Wild Hunt through the streets of present-day Ottawa hurtles young Jacky Rowan across the threshold into the perilous land of Faerie. There, to her dismay, she is hailed as the Jack of Kinrowan, a once-and-future trickster hero whose lot is to save the Elven Courts from unimaginable evil. An excitingly plotted, surprisingly effective blend of ancient and modern-though purists may balk at the notion of fairies riding motorcycles and driving automobiles-and the sort of gravely good-natured narrative that puts a twinkle in the eye of the beholder.

In “Jack the Giant-Killer”, where magical creatures carry on a secret existence in the streets and parks of modern Ottawa, Jacky Rowan once slew giants. In this thrilling sequel, she is tricked and then enslaved by a master of vicious, Unseelie creatures. This cruel thief is bent on stealing his very sustenance, not only from Jacky, but from all of the Seelie faerie court. Only the Moon herself and a handsome young fiddler, unaware of Faerie and the power of his music, have the magic to set Jacky free.
