Silver Majesty (Bk 2) - Silver Sagas, #2

"I couldn't stop! Princess Rebecca really seems to have matured and helps others mature also. There are very funny moments that caught me laughing, and very poignant moments that stole a tear. This is actually a story about a Princess becoming a Queen. But it is essentially the story of a woman becoming a woman." --SongbirdWhen Fairy Princess Rebecca agrees to become her tribe's next queen, she also agrees to let the Citizen's Council choose her husband from three, carefully selected suitors.:  Edward, an old friend and son of the traitorous Count Bullierd; Alfred, the arrogant son of crown-seeking Duchess Beatrice; and Hugh Lawson, a Plant Fairy half-prince who already loves Rebecca.
Peace in the tribe is already coming at a high price, but the secret pirate build-up (discovered only after the four tribes begin sharing information) poses a threat to all of Fairydom.  If what they suspect is true, defeating the pirates will require their total cooperation.
