Throughout history, Fable Kings and Queens have been a myth to most. Who would believe that there are boys and girls who can communicate with all life? But they are real--and so is Memoril, the mythical island that contains every kind of life, even dragons, and dinosaurs, phoenixes, krakens, and so many more magnificent things. Fable Kings and Queens have always been drawn to the island of all; some have even been born there. Right now, on Memoril, there are no Fable Kings--but there is a young Fable Queen. Her name is Miral: she is quite different, and she holds close to her heart...something very special indeed. Meanwhile, in the Ponds of Peace, the Elder Frog, Papa Ernes, sends Cupid the courageous frog out into the jungle for the first time to deliver something very important; but on the way, Cupid loses the package, and then he meets Miral, the Fable Queen. Miral and Cupid soon become friends and decide to go on an adventure around the island. Now things are about to happen: good things and bad things. Wonderful things. Terrible things. Things that have never happened before. Everything is about to change, forever. There is no going back. The colours are home.

A true life Water for Elephants, Queen of the Air brings the circus world to life through the gorgeously written, true story of renowned trapeze artist and circus performer Leitzel, Queen of the Air, the most famous woman in the world at the turn of the 20th century, and her star-crossed love affair with Alfredo Codona, of the famous Flying Codona Brothers. Like today's Beyonce, Madonna, and Cher, she was known to her vast public by just one name, Leitzel. There may have been some regions on earth where her name was not a household expression, but if so, they were likely on polar ice caps or in the darkest, deepest jungles. Leitzel was born into Dickensian circumstances, and became a princess and then a queen. She was not much bigger than a good size fairy, just four-foot-ten and less than 100 pounds. In the first part of the 20th century, she presided over a sawdust fiefdom of never-ending magic. She was the biggest star ever of the biggest circus ever, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, The Greatest Show on Earth. In her life, Leitzel had many suitors (and three husbands), but only one man ever fully captured her heart. He was the handsome Alfredo Codona, the greatest trapeze flyer that had ever lived, the only one in his time who, night after night, executed the deadliest of all big-top feats, The Triple--three somersaults in midair while traveling at 60 m.p.h. The Triple, the salto mortale, as the Italians called it, took the lives of more daredevils than any other circus stunt.

Billy Mern is a special boy from Manchester, England, who can speak to animals, and on his eighteenth birthday, he is greeted by a rabbit named Ware, who gives Billy the news that he is a Fable King, and a Fable King can have a wonderful relationship with all walks of life. After a frightening assassination attempt, Billy Mern ends up going with Ware to a mythical island called Memoril, and on this island, that is home to all creatures, common, legendary, great and small, he must go on a journey, all around Memoril; he must find and gather his seven chosen newborn fable companions: a baby phoenix, a baby snake, a baby dragon, a baby kraken, a baby wolf, a baby dinosaur, and a baby giant spider. And if Billy can do that, if he can travel all around this fantastic island and traverse the many dangers it has in store, then together, with his seven fable companions, he must go deep into the pit of the island's heart, deep, deep down into the Dark Ruin, and there he must defeat the evil Fable God - Deathendus - a magic-breathing half-dragon, half-serpent beast!
