Con dieciocho años, Lady Aileana Kameron, tiene la predecible vida de una joven casadera aristocrática en los eventos de la alta sociedad de Edimburgo, hasta que un espíritu asesina a su madre. Desde entonces, entre las aparentemente interminables fiestas y aburridos bailes, Aileana ha desarrollado un nuevo pasatiempo secreto: caza. Se camufla en la noche y mata a los espíritus que se aprovechan de los humanos en los oscuros callejones de la ciudad, decidida a encontrar el espíritu que mató a su madre. La venganza se ha convertido en la vida de Aileana.
The long-awaited final book in the Falconer trilogy is an imaginative tour-de-force that will thrill fans of the series. Aileana Kameron, resurrected by ancient fae magic, returns to the world she once knew with no memory of her past and with dangerous powers she struggles to control. Desperate to break the curse that pits two factions of the fae against each other in a struggle that will decide the fate of the human and fae worlds, her only hope is hidden in an ancient book guarded by the legendary Morrigan, a faery of immense power and cruelty. To save the world and the people she loves, Aileana must learn to harness her dark new powers even as they are slowly destroying her. Packed with immersive detail, action, romance, and fae lore, and publishing simultaneously in the UK, The Fallen Kingdom brings the Falconer's story to an epic and unforgettable conclusion.
After the ambush to the Novantae resistance, the survivors scatter across the galaxy. Then Ariadne receives a message: the Oracle has gone rogue.

When we last saw her, Aileana Kameron, the Falconer, disappeared through the fae portal that she was trying to close forever. When she escapes and reenters the human world, she finds her beloved city—indeed, the entire world—has been destroyed, and the fae world itself is slowly dying. Somehow Aileana is the key to preserving both worlds—but how? This much-anticipated second chapter in the Falconer trilogy "combines vivid world-building with action-packed fight sequences" (School Library Journal) "and a cliffhanger ending ensures that readers will follow Aileana to the very end of this trilogy" (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books).
