Summers at Castle Auburn / Shinn, Sharon

Corie loves her summers with her half-sister at Castle Auburn but as she ages, she sees the dark side of the magical place where fairy creatures are enslaved and the prince she once admired grows into a cruel and selfish man.

Corie, the illegitimate daughter of a royal lord, looks forward to her summers at Castle Auburn, her father's family estate, but as she gets older, she realizes she is being groomed for a political marriage, and becomes aware of the injustice of the enslavement of the magical Aliora people, and decides to risk all to follow her heart.
