Right now this is called Faery Borne. I am thinking I want to use that as the series title. Here's the blurb for it. Ideas?
[FONT="]A thousand years ago the heir to Alcaria disappeared and the throne stood empty. Over time the entire kingdom succumbed to The Sleep of Stone, the silent death of a leaderless faery realm. Now that the Passed of Time has reached its end, the laws of the fey state that the one who awakens the land on Midsummer’s Eve may lay claim to the throne and all within the kingdom. It is the night the Dark Court has been waiting for.
The fate of the Alcarians lay in the hands of Kalian, the lone faery who escaped into the world of humans, but who is cursed to return to The Sleep of Stone at each daybreak. Disguised as a gargoyle, he has wandered the Earth at night for almost ten human years watching and waiting for the ruler of Alcaria to return.
Finally on a starless night in the slums of New York City, he finds sixteen year old Mercedes Hope, a strung out drug addict who has given up on life. But now time is fast running out and he must convince this belligerent, jaded girl to embrace her destiny and come back to fight for Alcaria and for her people, when all she wants to do is fade into nothingness and be forgotten forever.
Merci has been fighting her own monsters for as long as she can remember. They lurk in the shadows waiting and if not for the help of one boy, she wouldn’t have survived. But her addictions have taken their toll and she has no memory of who she is or where she came from all those years ago. All she knows is that the shadows go away when she is high, so the choice has always been an obvious one.
Until the night she looks into a gargoyle’s eyes and her life is changed forever.
