Publisher Comments:

Unbeknownst to mortals, a power struggle is unfolding in a world of shadows and danger. After centuries of stability, the balance among the Faery Courts has altered, and Irial, ruler of the Dark Court, is battling to hold his rebellious and newly vulnerable fey together. If he fails, bloodshed and brutality will follow.

Seventeen-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of eyes and wings, all she knows is that she has to have it, convinced it is a tangible symbol of changes she desperately craves for her own life.

The tattoo does bring changes—not the kind Leslie has dreamed of, but sinister, compelling changes that are more than symbolic. Those changes will bind Leslie and Irial together, drawing Leslie deeper and deeper into the faery world, unable to resist its allures, and helpless to withstand its perils. . . .

Review:

To escape an abusive home, Leslie, a "bundle of terror and fury," yearns for a tattoo to mark her body as her own. But the eerie design she unsuspectingly chooses links her to Irial, ruler of the violent Dark Court fairies.

As the sequel to last year's popular "Wicked Lovely," "Ink Exchange" is even more compelling, thanks to Melissa Marr's more nuanced characterizations. Leslie is... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) a vulnerable and angry high-school senior eager to escape her human pain, and love interest Niall is a fairy haunted by past mistakes. Teenaged Aislinn, now the Summer Court queen, spices her previous sweetness with strength and guile. And Irial emerges as one of YA fiction's most enthralling bad guys. Ordering tea with a "kiss of honey," he flirts with fey waitresses and strolls city streets looking like "sin in a suit." But Irial is also a king who recognizes the codependence of light and darkness. For centuries, he has struggled to balance the two in the world. In this fairy tale, Leslie, Niall and Irial must come to terms with their Jungian shadow sides. Their fierce, sometimes despairing search for their true selves gives "Ink Exchange" its sinister power.

Mary Quattlebaum's most recent children's book is "Sparks Fly High," a retelling of a colonial American folk tale.
