Avery is the Seelie King.  He has been King for a long, long time.  He is one of the 13 kings, and he is starting to feel the loneliness of his life.  Selene Trystaine is an adopted child, along with her sister Minerva.  What Selene does not know is she is a Changeling, an offspring of a Fae and a Mortal.  But she is the rarest of all kinds of Changelings, she is a Wish Fae.  The Wish Fae were all killed off millennia ago, by the previous Seelie and Unseelie Kings.  But she is also the fated Queen of the Seelie King.The book reads almost like a fantasy land novel.  It is very reminiscent of Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll.  Books 1-4 in this series jumped right in, and got involved in the war between Kamon Re and the otherworldly beings.  This book took almost 1-2 way through it to start to even reference the war that has been brewing.  It is a very introspective book, dealing more with Selene's thoughts and feelings, than telling us what is going on with the supernatural war.  There are some parts of the book that deal with the supernatural war, but this book just fell flat.  I felt that it really did not continue with the saga that has been going on, and seemed to be more of a stand alone novel, than an actual continuation.  That being said, there were some shockers in the book, but it still fell flat from the first four books.
