'Evil Overlord in training? Check.

'Successfully hidden the true depths of her powers for four years so no one kills her? Check.

'Graduating at the top of her class from the Evil Overlord Academy so she can acquire her castle? ...Uncertain. And Mercury loathes uncertainty.

'If that smarmy git Deviran beats her for first place, Mercury needs to rethink her plans. Because the Tumul Tuos castle belongs to her. No matter what it takes to convince everyone else.

'Comic fantasy for fans of Terry Pratchett that will leave you laughing, crying--and questioning everything you ever thought you knew about ferrets.'

'This is what the fairies never wanted you to know...

'Edge Tanning gets things done. She vanquished the shadows that were threatening Sanctuary, she saved her best friend from the Valley--and she called the power of Sanctuary, magical home of the fairies, to life. So now that Sanctuary's broken, obviously, she has to fix it.

'Only problem is, she's not used to working alone--and this time, none of her friends want to help. In fact, when Edge senses Sanctuary mysteriously appearing around her while she's at school, her friends won't even believe her.

'And that's before she learns that time in Sanctuary isn't just running out--it's skipping sideways. This may just be too big for one teen girl to handle.

'Brace yourself for the exciting conclusion to the Sanctuary series: this is what the fairies have been hiding.'
