The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa

The Iron Knight (Iron Fey: Call of the Forgotten) (Iron Fey, #4)

by Julie Kagawa

From the limitless imagination of New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie Kagawa, The Iron Fey series continues.


My name--my True Name--is Ashallayn'darkmyr Tallyn.

I am the last remaining son of Mab, Queen of the Unseelie Court.

And I am dead to her.

My fall began, as many stories do, with a girl...


To cold faery prince Ash, love was a weakness for mortals and fools. Then Meghan Chase--a half human, half fey slip of a girl--smashed through his barricades, binding him to her irrevocably with his oath to be her knight.

Meghan is now the Iron Queen, ruler of a realm where no Winter or Summer fey can survive and with the unwelcome company of his archrival, Summer Court prankster Puck, and the infuriating cait sith Grimalkin, Ash begins a quest to find a way to honor his vow to stand by Meghan's side.

To survive in the Iron Realm, Ash must have a soul and a mortal body. But the tests he must face to earn these things are impossible. And along the way Ash learns something that changes everything. A truth that challenges his darkest beliefs and shows him that sometimes it takes more than courage to make the ultimate sacrifice.

--Justine magazine

I've been listening to this whole series on audible. The Iron Knight has a new narrator, a man this time and he did an excellent job! I loved listening to him read. I was so happy that this book was written. Readers get a deeper look into Ashallayn’darkmyr Tallyn, The Winter Prince, or Ash as we knew him in the first three books in the series. This is the story about his life and his background. It was nice to get to know why he did what he did in the first books. I actually like him even more now. It also gave us more insight into Puck and Ash's friendship and conflicts. This book doesn't have The Iron Queen(Meghan) in it much, but I found that it was OK for the plot of this novel. I have to say this is my favorite book in the series so far. I'm so glad that I've finally been able to immerse myself into this world of the Iron Fey. I've been wanting to read the series for years. Listening to them on Audible has been great!
