Now she must make a deal with the devil-well, all right, the Seelie Queen-to bring the real Kaye back to the mother who never knew her. After Kaye reveals the truth to her mother, she fears her family life may be over too. in the human world) is flowing any better. Since she cannot see Roiben again until she fulfills this task, this seems to be a cruel way to break up. Tricked into declaring her love for him, Kaye is dispatched on a seemingly impossible quest: to find a faery who can lie. But really, her troubles have just begun. Kaye, who only lately found out that she is a pixie who swapped places with her human mother’s real child, figured that things would go smoothly once her boyfriend Roiben became king of the Unseelie (or Night) Court. Once again, a spotlight shines on the spine-chilling side of fey creatures-the child-stealing, pain-dealing, backstabbing, amoral side of beings that are just like sociopathic killers except that they are unnaturally beautiful, they can’t endure the touch of iron, and they cannot lie. Once again, the Bright and Night Courts of Faerie collide against the urban backdrop of New York City and its down-and-out New Jersey suburbs. Subtitled A Modern Faery’s Tale, this companion-book to Tithe and Valiant brings back characters from the previous two books in a climactic tale of magic, romance, court intrigue, and hard-hitting action.
