The title isn't something that would have grabbed my interest on its own, but your description certainly sounds promising. I'll add it to the list (and ... ... I just read about the series on another website and it sounds fascinating.
Another YA faerie novel is Kate Thompson's The New Policeman which combines music and magic into a stunning story set in the Irish countryside.
