false 596963 7 When the ancient evil of the Blackbringer rises to unmake the world, only one determined faerie stands in its way. However, Magpie Windwitch, granddaughter of the West Wind, is not like other faeries. While her kind live in seclusion deep in the forests of Dreamdark, she's devoted her life to tracking down and recapturing devils escaped from their ancient bottles, just as her hero, the legendary Bellatrix, did 25,000 years ago. With her faithful gang of crows, she travels the world fighting where others would choose to flee. But when a devil escapes from a bottle sealed by the ancient Djinn King himself&#151;the creator of the world&#151;she may be in over her head. How can a single faerie, even with the help of her friends, hope to defeat the impenetrable darkness of the Blackbringer?<p> At a time when fantasy readers have an embarrassment of riches in choosing new worlds to fall in love with, this first novel by a fresh, original voice is sure to stand out. 583623 book 21 6 2007 Faeries of Dreamdark: Blackbringer total:321|5:158|4:107|3:45|2:8|1:3| 321 1372 605 98 4 1 false false Thu Nov 01 13:35:11 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 23 13:29:52 -0700 2007 Thu Nov 01 13:34:53 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 1 false false Thu Aug 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 04:07:27 -0700 2008 Fri Dec 05 03:47:01 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jan 26 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 06:40:30 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 07:16:16 -0800 2009 don't use some exalted High Language, but instead speak in a wonderful rough-and-ready dialect....more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Aug 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 13:01:31 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 13:15:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 03 15:23:59 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 03 15:27:16 -0700 2007
