Once Upon a Darker Time (Paperback)

The adventure continues in the highly anticipated Book II of the Chronicles of the Secret Prince from award-winning author, MJ Bell. Defying the odds, Deston Lesperance defeated Grossard, the Solitary Faerie who kidnapped his mother and father, and delivered the Light Crystal back to Tir na-nOg in time to secure the Fae's reign of the high realm. Now at long last, his dream of having a whole family has come to pass. Unfortunately, "happily ever after" doesn't last forever, for Grossard lives and is more resolved than ever to get his revenge on the Fae-this time teaming up with Mordred to unleash a darkness that has lain dormant since the earth's creation. Deston, though still struggling with his newly found powers, sets off with Margaux on another epic adventure to locate and destroy the Shard of Erebus before Grossard and Mordred can find it. He is fully aware the stakes are high, but he has no idea the scope of sacrifices he'll be required to make. As his world crumbles around him and his friends fall, he holds onto the only glimmer of hope he has left ... that the Fae power and strength truly does reside within him and that he still has a chance to become the hero they claim him to be.
