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.

Epic, fantastically well written, and filled with humour, supsense, love, emotions and a quest described to perfection.

This book had it all! It had Ash's quest, and his emotions going all over the place when he realized who the last person who was there to help him was. Puck was just as usual, but he also finally was able to show that he could be serious. Grimalkin disappeared every time things got icky, and the big bad wolf was very... wolfish.

I loved the tests Ash had to go through, and how they changed him, and opened him up to finally truly love.

I am not going to say anything more for fear of spoiling things, but this is a must-read! Very satisfying indeed!
