The Prince of Two Tribes is the second book in a new young adult series, The Chronicles of the Misplaced Prince, set in a world where Faeries 1 exist. Hidden in the cracks of our reality we meet our hero, Brendan.
Brendan thought that his troubles were over. Sure, he was going to have to hide the fact that he was a Faerie from his Human family and his friends at school, but now that he'd been initiated and survived his quest, the hardest part was behind him. Right? Wrong.
In The Prince of Two Tribes, Brendan discovers that his troubles are only beginning. He has to prove his worthiness to the Faerie World in a series of difficult tests that will be judged by the leading Fair Folk at a festival called the Gathering of the Clans set to take place in Toronto at the Winter Solstice.
To make matters worse, Brendan is having trouble mastering even the simplest of his talents. Can Brendan survive the tests, master his abilities and keep his friends and family from learning of his secret life?
The Prince of Neither Here Nor There is the first book in The Chronicles of the Misplaced Prince series, set in a world where Faeries 1 exist.
With a pimply face and braces on his teeth, the perpetually clumsy Brendan is having a hard time at school. He’s got a few geeky friends and one really cool friend, Kim, who stands up for him when he starts to get bullied and pummeled in the ever popular school game of Murderball2. When he starts hearing voices and conversing with chipmunks, he thinks he can add losing his mind to his growing list of problems. He soon discovers that the reason behind all of the strange voices and weird dreams he’s been having is that he is a Faerie who was lost in the human world.
Will he be forced to turn his back on his human parents and embrace his Faerie roots? Can he live in two worlds at once? These questions are just the tip of the iceberg (readers beware). In fact, the book’s narrator encourages readers to “freak out and run” on several occasions.
Brendan, The Prince of Neither Here Nor There, finds himself caught in a struggle between two worlds as he tries to figure out where he fits into both. During the course of the story he will face strange and unknown dangers, discover new and amazing powers, and meet friends and family he never new existed.
1 Faeries. Not Fairies. There is a big difference, and it isn’t just that one is spelled with an “e.” Fairies are ineffectual little things that flit about in children’s stories, shoot magic dust into people’s faces, and dress up in flower petals and all that hooey. The fearies we are dealing with here are something different all together. They are a noble race, and ancient race, often marvelous and magical but just as often deadly and dangerous.
2 Murderball (also known as Dodgeball: before becoming the moderns pastime enjoyed (or dreaded) by students the world over, Murderball was devised as a means of executing criminals in the seventeenth-century Germany. Murderes were sentenced to be pelted with rubber balls until they were dead. However, the murderes became very adept at dodging the balls and so the modern sport of Murderball was born.
