Synopsis
Findabhair and her cousin Gwen have always believed in magic and the other world, and their dream is to find a way to enter it. Where better to begin than at royal Tara, seat of the High Kings of Ireland?
Eager for adventure, they challenge an ancient law by spending the night in the sacred Sidhemound. When Gwen awakes, she is horrified to discover that Findabhair has disappeared, abducted by the king of the Fairies. Armed with her knowledge of Irish folklore and a great deal of courage, Gwen sets out to challenge the king and find her cousin. It is a wild and dangerous chase and she needs all the help she can get from her redhaired friends to outwit to cunning of the other side.
But an even great challenge lies ahead it is the time of the Hunter's Moon, and the Hunter demands his sacrifice!

From the Publisher
Beautifully written, exciting, and evocative of both modern-day and mystical Ireland, The Hunter’s Moon is a treat for fantasy readers.
The Hunter’s Moon is the first in the three-book fantasy trilogy The Chronicles of
Faerie. The second book, The Summer King, will be published by Abrams in 2006
and the third book, The Light-Bearer's Daughter, will be published in 2007. The
Chronicles of Faerie evolved from a single book into the trilogy as the popularity of
the first book soared, selling more than 100,000 copies in countries around the globe.
In Japan, where the books have sold continuously since their introduction more than
five years ago, and where they are available in hardcover only, Melling’s work is often compared to that of Tolkien’s; in Canada she is a household name and has won numerous prestigious awards.
