The third book in this critically acclaimed trilogy, which Booklist described as “shimmering with magic, myth, and romance” Dana has few memories of her mother, who disappeared when she was small. But she has always dreamed, despite her father’s discouragement, that her mother would come back one day. When her dad decides to leave Ireland and take a job across the ocean in Canada, Dana is heartbroken. How can she leave her home and the only chance of seeing her mother again? She runs away, high into the fairy mountains of Ireland. Following ancient paths, with a mysterious wolf companion at her side, Dana encounters a world of tragic enchantment and fairy romance, and discovers a great secret about herself. With lush descriptions and rich Celtic lore, plus cameo appearances by characters from the previous books, this latest chronicle will satisfy fans of the series and entice new readers.

This book was alright, a little heavy-handed with the whole "eating meat is baaaaad!" and "no one should ever cut down treeeees!" hippie talk, but I was expecting that. Not what I would really expect from a fairy tale though, but I bet the younger readers will like it.
Lately, I've been reading a lot of fantasy novels, most of them can be categorized into the "Young Adult" shelves. This was the first one I picked up by O.R. Melling and I enjoyed it. I'll be on the lookout to read a few of her other stories.
