Line 4:
''The Iron Fey'' is a series of [[Young Adult]] novels by Julie Kagawa, dealing with the misadventures of young Meghan Chase in Faeryland.
''[[The Iron King]]'' is where our story starts. Meghan finds out that her father was not the insurance salesman she thought he was, but was instead Oberon, king of the Summer Court of the Fey. She also finds out that her best friend, Robbie Goodfell, is actually Robin Goodfellow, better known as Puck. She ventures to faery lands to rescue her brother, but finds herself caught up in the politics of the world, and is forced to fight against the iron court, a brand new court formed as human dreams begin to shift toward technology. Along the way, she meets Ash, the son of the Winter queen, whom she agrees to accompany in exchange for his help dealing with the iron court.
The next part of the series is the novella "Winter's Passage", which follows Ash and Meghan as he takes her to the winter court per their agreement, but along the way they are attacked by a creature sent by Oberon to "rescue" Meghan.
Line 15:
The fourth book, ''The Iron Knight'', came out in November 2011.

Line 72 ⟶ 73:

* [[Two Guys and
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Puck uses this a lot, though he usually favors [[Animorphism]].
