Crystal Tower of Light. This item is unavailable.Crystal Tower of Light

The Crystal Tower of Light lies in the heart of Teernoman—a mystical island populated by female fairies, dwairies (dwarf fairies), and clairies (cloned fairies), and under the control of the ruthless dictator Queen Danu the Great. Queen Danu's thirst for vengeance leads her into the human world, in order to kidnap her one and only granddaughter. The child's brother Luan will stop at nothing to save his little sister, but upon his arrival in Teernoman, he finds out hidden truths about his heritage and his family that he hadn't bargained for. Everything is possible on this varied and unpredictable island, including magic, sorcery and terrible suffering, as Luan is soon to realise.
