No one travels this life alone. Maggie Rae-McInnis is happy in her twelve-year relationship with Addison and renting out the rooms in their large home in the Hollywood Hills.

When she meets Victoria Fontaine, a confident, sexy, and manipulative younger woman, she is swept into something new, exciting, and a little dangerous. Tess Rossini and Dusty Gardner, the couple’s closest friends and long-term tenants, face their own fears as they navigate the uncharted waters of love, and Eve Jacobs, newest arrival, finds herself on a path of self-discovery.

However, when their bus breaks down by a creepy old farm, the inconceivable happens—Anna is wiped from human memory.But something inside Charlotte remembers. So she goes over the Wall in a frantic rescue attempt, accidentally awakening a once cruel but still dangerous prince, and gaining control of a powerful weapon, his magic dagger.Charlotte’s only chance to save Anna hinges on her courage and an uneasy alliance with some of the very monsters that feed on humanity. Welcome to River Vine, a shrouded hinterland where dark magic devours and ancient shifters feed, and where the seed of love sets root among the ashes of the dying.Advance Reviews"Fun, fast-paced fairy goodness." —Peadar O'Guilin, author of The Call and The InvasionAn imaginative romp with a modern edge... a unique fantasy adventure with a dose of charm and sass... a sprinkle of beautifully dark, descriptive prose (and a dash of fairy tale)..." —Cynthia L. Schneider, author of the Crown of Thorns and the Nite Fire series"Part psycho hitchhiker movie, part road trip to Rylyeh, Fallen Princeborn: Stolen drags the reader deep into Faerie, burns it down, and caramelizes expectations." —ARC reviewer"This book is amazing." —ARC reviewer"This gripping YA fantasy about Charlotte's encounter with the fae comes complete with a prince... but he's no Prince Charming, while they're definitely nothing like Tinkerbell." —ARC reviewerEditorial Reviews"Lee writes from a third-person, present-tense point of view, but the tale is still told very much from Charlotte’s perspective, spurning exposition in favor of snippets of teenage angst. Charlotte emerges as a believable survivor—strong, determined, and devoted to her sister, but also vulnerable, with a deeply buried sense of hope.... The fairy realm itself is more grim than enchanting (think the Upside Down from the Netflix TV series Stranger Things).... A suitably beguiling and unsettling first book in a series that promises deeper, darker escapism." —Kirkus Reviews
