Lena might finally be accepted by the other giants after she helped defeat the Golden King and his faceless army in the Cursed City, but that doesn't mean life's any easier for her. The power-hungry Golden King wants revenge and has begun spreading shadow magic across the kingdoms. His magic takes over the mind of anyone it touches, instilling fear and hatred as it goes. But Lena and her genie friend, Jin, can handle that, right? Not according to the Last Knight, who changes everything Lena thought she knew about herself by divulging a horrible secret. And he's not the only one. The fairy queens -- godmothers to some and protectors of the realm -- reveal to Lena that, according to the fairies' The Tales of All Things, she is the only one who can defeat the Golden King and his shadow magic and that she can only do it if she proves herself worthy. All Lena ever wanted was to be accepted as she was. But after learning that secret from the Last Knight, she's not even sure who that is anymore or what it means to be "worthy." Can she and Jin save the human world that doens't trust them, or will they fall prey to shadow magic and doom everything? Knowing how second books tend to go, let's hope it's not the latter...

Fantasy fiction, Juvenile.
