Her dream is to go with her one true love—Brandon. But once the sun goes down, the clouds separate, and the full moon appears, could she really walk into the dance on the arm of a werewolf?In this installment of the sumptuously romantic Full Moon series, Celeste faces her fears and her friends and finds out whether she’s strong enough to stand up for herself and her one true love.

A tall well dressed man walks up to me. "Hello Ella, don't be afraid, we're just here to take you back where you belong.""I don't understand." I say, my voice shaking. "I belong here, with my family and the people who love me.""But do they love you?" he asks smirking. "If they found out what you are, would they still, truly love you?" I think for a moment, faltering. But I quickly regain control of my thoughts. "Of course they would! They would love me no matter what I was!""I wouldn't be so sure." He says angrily, "but since you seem to have your mind made up, let me rephrase my sentence. You're going on vacation."As soon as he says it I feel a needle being poked into my back, then I am lifted into the air and taken to a black company vehicle, slightly down the road. I scream, kick, scratch, flail, pinch, and do every other thing I was taught to do in this situation. Until whatever is in the dart starts to take effect. This is (inconveniently) almost immediately. My head begins to feel light and heavy all at the same time, my eyes droop and I stop screaming. I let my body relax (probably not a good idea in this situation) and I feel as if I'm floating. Through my peripheral vision I notice Oliver has been picked up as well. My heart aches for my friend, if I had just listened to him, we wouldn't be in this mess.

I wrote Princes in Exile, about a prodigy who confronts his own mortality at a summer camp for kids with cancer, when I was twenty. It was first published in hardcover by Beaufort Books in New York. It was later published in paperback by General Publishing in Canada. It was translated into German, Japanese, Dutch, Danish and Russian. In 1991 it was made into a film. As Beaufort and General Publishing are no longer in business, I am publishing it here.Thank you very much indeed for Princes in Exile, which I found to be a remarkable and very moving novel. It manages to say a lot about life, and even about the relationship of literature to life, without being pious, didactic, or self-conscious—no mean feat considering its subject. The final lines are extraordinary—but then, so is the careful way the narrative builds up to them. All in all, I think more highly of the book than of anything which has come across my desk in some time, including works with far greater pretensions. —Northrop Frye
