Serra And The Changeling

When Serra brings a fairy changeling into Billac she has no idea of the danger she has put the village in as the evil creature has enchanted her. Lord Mortag, her father, knows Serra is a fiery, strong redhead who wants nothing more that to be a warrior queen one day. But even he is surprised when she runs away with the changeling when the villagers, realising what the creature is, want to destroy it. Danger also looms from the nearby village of Hux where the ruthless warlord Sumnor has been looking for a reason to make war with Billac. His wife Cassin has just had her baby stolen and Serra takes the changeling to the village, thinking it is the lost child. Still enchanted all she can see is a beautiful baby boy but Sumnor sees the changeling and it gives him the excuse for battle he has been looking for.

Meanwhile, away from the mainland where Serra lives, another young man, Christan, has also been taken by fairies and a changeling left in his place. They are looking to ransom him to his evil brother Rowan who rules the Island of Sensa in Christan's place until he is old enough to do so as the rightful heir. Christan finds himself left helpless and alone in Trewic when the fairies aandon him and meets the dwarf Prenick who lives in the mountains. Christan's ancestors were banished from Trewic and left to starve one hundred years ago before, accused of murder. Christan is sure of their innocence and Prenick tells him the warlord Sumnor knows the truth. Christan finally has the chance to avenge his ancestors.

When Christan meets Serra he is enamoured and she with him. Yet after seeing Vaun, the son of Sumnor when she left the changeling at Hux, her thoughts seemed to be constantly turning to him. Serra is also devastated that she has started the war between Billac and Hux and she wants to find a way to right the wrong that she has caused. With help from the dwarf Prenick and from the boy king Christan, can Serra become the warrior she has always dreamt of being? Will Christan finally avenge his people for their wrongful exile all those years ago? And will Serra decide whether her heart is with Christan or the son of the warlord who threatens to take away everything she has ever known.
