The Namesake Prophecy, Book One: The Bad Fairy

About the Book

For Maddie Cole it has been all bad days since becoming the newest fourth grader at
Oakley Elementary. Targeted by the biggest, meanest fifth grader, Shelby Bell – along
with her two toadies, Sierra Bell and Michaela Greevy – Maddie is abused, terrorized, and
robbed of her lunch money every day. As the new kid, Maddie is everyone’s punching
bag. Everyone except for Emmy and Lizzie Bayless, fraternal twins who can’t be convinced
that they are not identical.

Principal Bell, Shelby and Sierra’s grandfather, refuses to stop the bullying, having gone
so far as to fire any teacher daring to stand up to his monstrous granddaughters, leaving
Maddie’s parents with no choice but to call in outside help.
The Fae.

Unbeknownst to Maddie, her great-great grandfather performed a tremendous deed for
the Fae over a century ago, a debt that can never be fully repaid. Sharing his name, the
Fae believe that Maddie is the Namesake, a foretold hero of the Draar, werewolf allies
of the Fae, and they know that they must do anything to help her. Unfortunately, the
Fae are once again under threat of constant attack by the Moordenaari, a cabal of evil
wizards, and Thralls, their possessed human servants. King Matthias can’t afford to lose
any of his best knights. He can only spare Brigglesby, a surly, lout of a Fae who absolutely
doesn’t want the job.

Forced into an oath, Brigglesby returns to Oakley with Maddie, bound to help his
new charge find the strength she needs to handle her bully problem. What Brigglesby
discovers, however, is that Maddie’s bullies aren’t the worst thing going on in Oakley.
Good and evil, men and monsters, are focused on the little town, and Maddie Cole is
right in the center of it all.
