The book starts out in the Texas hill country.Two girls Molly and Tess,best friends and college buddies.For a little background,they met in a hand-to-hand fighting class.
It's some kind of college break and Molly,who lives there,invited Tess.
This is the opening of the book,and then the Gate to the fae world is found.Once there the world building is pretty amazing.And the creation of characters was un-founded.
It was a book where a young person finds an amazing artifact and must save the world,we've all read those.

But this is the first in a trilogy,and I think it's a good one.
