Maggie learns that both times a Second had appeared, only the added power and the ultimate sacrifice of a Maebown could destroy it.THE CHANGELING (Book 2) begins after Maggie has escaped with her life from a trap set by the Unseelie clan. The leader of the Seelie Clan, Ozara, has faced the challenge of a second Aetherfae before, but she could not defeat the powerful rival alone. Only two Maebown have ever existed, both came into being to counter the threat of a Second.

It marks the existence of a Second Aetherfae. The news is unwelcome, because, as Maggie discovers, the existence of a human Maebown is an ominous sign of impending global catastrophe. In THE STEWARD (Book 1), Maggie passes the four elemental trials, and learns that she may become the first Maebown-a human capable of creating the fifth element, Aether-in more than two thousand years.
