It’s been almost a year since October “Toby” Daye averted
a
war, gave up a county, and suffered personal losses that
have left her wishing for a good day’s sleep. She’s
tried
to focus on her responsibilities—training Quentin,
upholding
her position as Sylvester’s knight, and paying the bills—
but
she can’t help feeling like her world is crumbling around
her, and her increasingly reckless behavior is beginning
to
worry even her staunchest supporters.
To make matters worse, Toby’s just been asked to find
another missing child…only this time it’s the changeling
daughter of her fellow knight, Etienne, who didn’t even
know
he was a father until the girl went missing. Her name is
Chelsea. She’s a teleporter, like her father. She’s
also
the kind of changeling the old stories warn about, the
ones
with all the strength and none of the control. She’s
opening doors that were never meant to be opened,
releasing
dangers that were sealed away centuries before—and
there’s a
good chance she could destroy Faerie if she isn’t
stopped.
Now Toby must find Chelsea before time runs out, racing
against an unknown deadline and through unknown worlds as
she and her allies try to avert disaster. But danger is
also stirring in the Court of Cats, and Tybalt may need
Toby’s help with the biggest challenge he’s ever faced.
Toby thought the last year was bad. She has no idea.
