Every young girl dreams that she's secretly a princess of a far-off land and that someday her true parents will come to claim her and usher her into a life of luxury, an fabulous existence where she might even have magical powers and be swept off her feet by a handsome prince. Teenager Ali Warner has reason to cling to such a fantasy. Her mother died in a car accident a year ago. Her father, a trucker determined to work through his grief, hasn't acknowledged Ali's burgeoning figure or complicated emotions. Her friends still aren't sure how to talk about her mother's death. And the Southern California forest that has always been Ali's refuge is about to be ravaged by logging. Ali is about to discover that she is a princess-a fairy princess. And that she has to save the world. For real. To claim her fairy powers, Ali must overcome seven potentially lethal challenges. Then she must scale a mountain and confront the King of the Dwarves and the King of the Elves, whose armies are poised to invade Earth. With her bemused 21st century friends, a sly leprechaun, and an extremely loyal, extremely ugly, troll by her side, Ali begins the most momentous journey of her young life, a journey during which she will learn much about herself and the past she thought she knew. She will conquer fire and water, earth and air, and even time itself. She will be both betrayer and betrayed, will see death close at hand, and will snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Ali Warner is Alosha. Welcome to her world.… (más)

I will admit, most of the stuff Christopher Pike churns out is crap. But if I gave it 5 stars, you have to know that it's something completely different. ( )

This review is for the series (all three books). I really enjoyed reading these books. I do like fantasy. I do like saving the environment. And I do like faeries. And I've read Pike since I was 11 years old. So I highly enjoyed this series. I enjoyed it much better than the Thirst series! ( )

Disappointing. I loooooved Christopher Pike when I was younger, but I don't remember his writing being so stilted! The premise was great, exactly the sort of book I read, but ugh! You can use contractions, dude! These characters are supposed to be teenagers! They wouldn't speak so formally!!! ( )

I am not really into scifi fantasy but this book changed my mind. I love how the main character goes through all these different tests and experiences to unlock her past and save the future! ( )

Synopsis

Almost everyone, at some time, dreams of being the hidden king or queen of a far-off land. Almost everyone dreams that someday that secret identity will be revealed, heralding a new life filled with magic and power and love.Teenager Ali Warner has good reason to believe in such a fantasy.nbsp;While hiking in the woods behind her house, Ali stumbles across a plot by the elementals--mysterious creatures who live in a neighboring dimension--to invade and destroy the Earth. Not only that, she discovers that she has been chosen to stop the attack. Why Ali?It is very possible that she is more than human . . . Eager to earn her magical abilities and learn her true identity, Ali sets out on a great adventure. The journey will take her far from home and through a series of dangerous tests that require not only courage and strength, but an insight into life itself.nbsp;Accompanied by a devious leprechaun, a loyal troll, and three close friends, Ali strives to reach the top of a forbidden mountain and lay claim to the Yanti, an ancient talisman of great power that even the elementals cannot contro

REVIEW

Awesome book, It will take you on a adventure, very exciting. i always loved Christopher pike(especially Last Vampire series which is really good)I think this is one of my favorite books, it also got me into fairies. I loved the characters too, especially the troll- who seemed creepy and nasty at first but then was really nice and sweet.I remember i went to the library looking for christopher pike last vampire books and this one was all on the shelf gathering dust, i was like it's a C. Pike book it has got to be good so i checked it out and was done with it so fast, i was sad, i thought it was just one book. Then i looked it the back *heavenly sound* part two Shaktra. I HAVE to read the next one. ( )
