Evelyn Speckleplum: The Monarch's Inferno [Large Print]

By D. Golden Conlin

They whisper her name . . . the Black-Veined Mistress.

No one knows where she came from. No one has seen her face. Only that wherever she passes, the air turns cold with fog, and blood-red poppies bloom-just before someone vanishes.

The signs are spreading. The owls have begun to circle. The monarch butterflies flutter away. And through the leaves, a rattling breath carries a name: Evelyn Speckleplum.

It's been over a year since Evelyn returned from the Fey Realm. Her new life in an old Victorian foster home ought to feel like a fresh start. But one unexpected day, in the corner of a dusty dressing room mirror, she glimpses a flash of green-a curious creature from the Fey Realm, desperate for her help. Elm, her mentor, has been claimed by the Mistress. Evelyn has no choice but to return.

But now the realm is different. The rules are stricter, the challenges more rigorous and deadly . . . and not everything is as it seems.

Will Evelyn survive the lurking dangers, or will everything she knows and loves-fracture?
