The Prince of Two Tribes is the second book in a new young adult series, The Chronicles of the Misplaced Prince, set in a world where Faeries (1) exist. Hidden in the cracks of our reality we meet our hero, Brendan.
Brendan thought that his troubles were over. Sure,
he was going to have to hide the fact that he was a Faerie from his
Human family and his friends at school, but now that he'd been
initiated and survived his quest, the hardest part was behind him.
Right? Wrong.
In The Prince of Two Tribes, Brendan
discovers that his troubles are only beginning. He has to prove his
worthiness to the Faerie World in a series of difficult tests that will be judged by the leading Fair Folk at a festival called the Gathering
of the Clans set to take place in Toronto at the Winter Solstice.
To make matters worse, Brendan is having trouble mastering even the
simplest of his talents. Can Brendan survive the tests, master his
abilities and keep his friends and family from learning of his secret
life?

(1) Faeries. Not Fairies. There is a big difference, and it isn’t just that one is spelled with an “e.” Fairies are ineffectual little things that flit about in children’s stories, shoot magic dust into people’s
faces, and dress up in flower petals and all that hooey. The fearies we are dealing with here are something different all together. They are a noble race, and ancient race, often marvelous and magical but just as
often deadly and dangerous.
