Melanie doesn’t like surprises. She especially isn’t fond of big surprises, like finding out on her nineteenth birthday that she has a secret identity. Queen Tianna is what the taxi-driving gnome called her as he drove her home from an epic party, and Melanie isn’t impressed with the new title. Sure, she likes bossing people around, but there’s way too much fun stuff that she has to sacrifice in preparation for her new role. For example, her life used to be all about parties and shopping in Bar Harbor, but now, as Queen Tianna, she is expected to give up her social life to become ruler and protector of a secret world full of trolls, goblins, and pixies. Her summer gets even more complicated when she discovers that she has a twin brother...a twin brother kidnapped and raised by the demonically evil Dagda, who proudly takes credit for the death of her biological parents. Just when she thinks there can’t possibly be any more surprises thrown her way, Melanie finds out that her real parents were not exactly normal (really, whose are?), and that having a fairy for a mother and a vampire for a father means that Queen Tianna has some pretty whacked out genes and some very intriguing new powers.
