Tania has brought the long-lost Queen Titania back to Faerie from the Mortal World of modern London. But when they cross between the worlds, they find only devastation.

The Sorcerer King of Lyonesse—ancient enemy of the Faerie Court—has been released from his amber prison. As the wicked sorcerer regains his power, King Oberon, Tania's father, is imprisoned and the Faerie Court is being destroyed.

This would be the more grim of the Faerie Path series. Like the 1st was the more love story, and the 2nd was the more idk. I wouldn't recomend this book to tweens under the age of 12(possbily 11)because this book is violent, and umm... there's not many 'happy' moments. But it is very good and hard to put down.
Cordelia, Edric, Sancha, Titana, Tiana, and Zara escape safely from the Gray Nights of Lyonesse, in London, only to find what used to be lush gardens are now dried up and dead, King Oberon is imprisoned in an Amber Prison and their home is pretty much destroyed.
Sancha, Tania, Zara and Edric head into the palace looking for King Oberon, while Titana and Cordelia stay hidden in the woods. While Sneaking around Tania and Eden find out that the Sorcer King is to burn Sancha's precious library. Sancha, while the library is burning around her, tries to grab the soul books. She is unsucessful but Tania is able to grab a few pages of her father's soul book, which tells them he at the desolate island of Ynis Maw.
Zara, Cordelia, Tania and Edric head toward Ynis Maw, but an unfourtunate event happens, leading them to Caer Kymry, where Hopie is.
Cordelia, Tania and Edric set free Oberon on Ynis Maw. On the way the make new friends. There is a big battle, near the palace, and tradgedy happens. Like all the books I've read this one has a happy ending.
Unlike the other books in the preivous books, this one does not tell of another sequel, but there could still be one. I hope there is another book. (I hope I haven't told too much.)
This book also makes me believe that the Faerie Path series would be an excellent movie.

The Faerie books are the best books I have ever read.I think adults would like them too. But kids will LOVE them because it is filled with a world that they can dream of at night.It is a place where they can escape to after a hard day at school.If you have not read these books then you have missed out on a piece of life!

Rescuing the Queen was easy, now Tania has to save the entire faerie realm. Now they must rescue King Oberon if there is to be any hope of winning the war. He is bound in an amber prison surrounded by bars of Isenmort, which will make his release very difficult, if only they knew where to find him. Tania, Edric and Tania’s two sister Cordelia and Zara set off on a quest to Ynis Maw, the end of the faerie world. They hope to find King Oberon, release him from his prison and join his power with Queen Titania’s to over throw the Sorcerer King. The journey is far and there are many obstacles to face. Will they rescue King Oberon in time and lead them into victory?

The Sorcerer King was my favorite book of The Faerie Path series. The characters were finally well defined, maybe it helped that I had gotten to know them in the three books. Even though the book is predicable at times, I still enjoyed the adventures to Ynis Maw and the new characters that were introduced. I loved the exploration into the faerie realm, as well as the never-ending supply of action and adventure around every turn. If you are a fan of the first two books, you will not be disappointed with the third.
