The Storm Prince (Knight of Avalon, #2)

When Prince Beri Quintinar, the youngest son of Faerie's late High King, learns that his mother and sister have survived the public execution that claimed the rest of their family, he must embark on a daring rescue mission to save them from their enemies. Along with Katie, the girl he loves but is forbidden to touch, Beri returns to a war-torn Faerie teetering on the edge of destruction.
But fate takes a wicked turn when Beri finds himself captured by the treacherous Queen of the Seelie Court. As a political hostage in Queen Aynia's palace, Beri must navigate the dangerous schemes of Summer courtiers and survive the unpredictable whims of his captor.
Amidst the chaos, Beri stumbles upon a group of young rebels fighting to abolish slavery in the Summerlands. The rebellion offers him a choice: stand by his principles and assist the cause of freedom, or succumb to the dark allure of his magical abilities to become Queen Aynia's assassin. As sinister plots unfurl and danger lurks at every turn, Beri realizes his quest for family and redemption may demand unspeakable sacrifices.

The first novel Michelle John ever read was 'The Wizard of Oz' when she was six years old, and she has been fascinated by the intersection of fantasy and girl power ever since. As soon as she figured out the proper way to hold a pen she started writing stories about princesses who rescue dragons from evil princes. She hasn't yet found a reason to stop. Her style may have changed a bit since kindergarten, but in the twenty-five years of her career, she has never found a more interesting story to tell than that of a heroic young woman who saves the day.
