Most teens hate school, but thirteen-year-old Faye has good reason to: Her teacher is trying to kill her. Swallowing her fears, she marches past the scattered bones of unsuccessful students and battles through a maze of deadly spells. Faye survives, only to be greeted by fireballs and curses from Stonereader, her instructor. So much for becoming teacher's pet. Such is the life of a half-breed, ostracized by both human and Fey society. When her magical team assembles to help her, they are not what Faye expects: a talking rock, a dog with unusual skills, and a sword that continually attacks the most handsome prince she's ever seen. Awkward With only a band of misfits to save her from the teacher who's determined to destroy her, she should give up, as Stonereader wants. But Faye has a dream worth dying for: to bring a lasting peace between humans and Fey. THE HEARTLESS FEY is a young adult fantasy about the power of impossible dreams.
