The Boy With the Hidden Name takes off immediately after the ending of book one, The Girl Who Never Was, with plenty of adventure ahead. An epic battle with the Otherworld looms over Boston, with both the Seelie and the Unseelie Courts, and hinges on a prophecy involving Selkie, the Fray, and the betrayal of someone she loves.

Once again, I was swept-up into this madcap story filled with fast-paced adventure. The Boy With the Hidden Name takes the readers on a dizzying quest, through several enchanting realms, in order to break a deadly prophecy.

Sometimes you must fight for happily-ever-after.
