![]() How does Tithe compare with other fairy tale books you've read in the past? Did you like the modern setting? Luis and Dave from Valiant become an integral part of the story as Kaye is forced to visit Silarial, the Seelie queen, to try to save Roiben and herself. Roiben is about to take the throne of the Unseelie Court and there will undoubtedly be a war, but then Kaye makes a foolish declaration and is sent on an impossible quest. Ironside, Black's third book, returns readers to Kaye's story, beginning two months after the ending of Tithe. It's not long before Val learns that these teens are not like anyone she's ever met - they work as couriers for a troll and come in contact with faeries on a regular basis. In New York City, Val hooks up with a strange group of homeless teens and joins them in living in an abandoned subway station. Black's second book, Valiant, picks up where Tithe leaves off, but follows a different girl - a human named Val - who catches her boyfriend and her mother in a compromising position and runs away from home. Kaye starts to piece together the strange story of her real identity when she and her mother return to the New Jersey town where she grew up, and Kaye comes in contact with the faeries she used to play with as a child and a wounded knight, Roiben, who will change her life forever. ![]() ![]() Holly Black's first Young Adult novel, the urban fantasy/faerie tale Tithe, focuses on a sixteen-year-old girl named Kaye who is actually a pixie, only at first she doesn't know it.
