Violet Wings - Tapa dura

After learning that she is an extreme, powerful fairy, twelve-year-old Zaria Tourmaline uses her magic to try to learn about her parents and brother’s disappearance three years before, and to explore the human world--activities which put her and all of Feyland at risk.

Victoria Hanley has done a lot of traveling in search of fairy hotspots. She's made long journeys by car, plane, bus, train, and bicycle, not to mention plenty of hiking. Along the way, she has lived in California, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Oregon, and Colorado, and her novels have been published in ten languages. Her fantasy headquarters are now located in Loveland, Colorado, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, a place where fairies and genies, along with pixies, trolls, gremlins, and assorted humans, are always welcome to gather.
