Illusions (also released as Wild) is the third book in the New York Times best-selling Wings series[2] by Aprilynne Pike.

It follows Pike's #1 New York Times best-selling debut, Wings,[3] which introduced readers to Laurel Sewell, a faerie sent among humans to guard the gateway to Avalon, and the direct sequel, Spells.

Laurel is entering her senior year and is shocked to see Tamani for the first time in 8 months, posing as a new student—'Tam Collins'—who has just moved to Crescent City, California from Scotland.

He has been training in Scotland to live among humans and stay close to Laurel, since she has been attacked by trolls several times.

Shar is unharmed, he simply hates his phone, partly because touchscreens don't respond to faeries very well.

Shar asks Yasmine if he can use the gate to Hokkaido, Japan, supposedly to see if the faeries there know about Yuki.

There, Katya suggests using phosphorescence serum—faeries glow when they drink it, but Summer faeries grow much brighter and longer.

Laurel attempts to befriend Yuki at school, but fails, so Tamani suggests he give it a try, as he is also a new student.

Laurel invites Tamani over to help with research, but she can't quite figure out what she wants, and explains that she normally dissects and tastes plants she works with.

Tamani is becoming good friends with Yuki and has taken to wearing fingerless gloves to hide his pollen, now that Laurel is blossoming.

He is telling Aaron that Yuki's behaviour at home is very normal when they hear two trolls coming—the first they've sighted in months.

Before the dance, Tamani updates Laurel, David and Chelsea about the trolls and says they need to get some of Yuki's hair or sap to test its phosphorescence.

David remarks that Arthur and Guinevere might have had a chance to make things work if Lancelot hadn't been there.

At Laurel's house, Tamani tells Chelsea to take Ryan home and to say they hit a deer.

At school, Chelsea tells Laurel that Ryan doesn't remember much of the dance or the crash, and suspects someone gave him a memory elixir.

Because of Tamani's terrible grades, his punishment is 3 days' suspension with David, a straight-A student, tutoring him.

Laurel admits she's conflicted, liking both the academy and the prospect of human university; mirroring how she cares about both David and Tamani.

Chelsea arrives and quizzes Tamani again as Laurel continues to try and identify what's in the blue powder; she can't figure out the main ingredient.

Laurel realises that the main ingredient in the blue powder was a faerie blossom, but it can't have been Yuki's.

Tamani realises that Klea must be a Fall faerie, and she's been working with the trolls, including Barnes.

Tamani tells Laurel to call Shar, then asks Yuki to come back to his home, since it is her last night before she leaves.

Tamani tricks Yuki into walking into a circle of salt—extremely dangerous and forbidden magic—which traps her and her power, and David ties her to a chair.

Chelsea unties the knot at Yuki's back to reveal a Winter blossom, and Tamani silently prays for help.

Laurel is a Fall faerie who was chosen to live in the human world when she was young, so she could inherit the land that contains a gate to Avalon.

She discovered Laurel was a faerie in Spells when she was kidnapped by trolls and has a huge crush on David.

Lisa McMann provided a cover blurb, asking, "Who knew faeries could be this cool?

"[5] Raven Haller of the Romantic Times said, "Pike has taken her already acclaimed series and turned the story up a notch.
