The Usurper is dead. Retribution has come for the MacCatháins. Áine and Caolán have been snatched into Faerië. Terrified and alone, Cornelius is forced to make a deal with the last person he can trust if he is to have any hope of saving them. But he cannot simply walk in and take them; trouble is brewing in Faerië... The Queens of Faerië are determined to wage war on the mortal realm and need the blood of changelings to re-open the Veil. Áine and Caolán have been dragged into a scheme two hundred years in the making and must rely on their wits, and each other, if they are going to survive. Will the MacCatháins survive the dark plans of Titania and the cruel NicNevan? Can they hope to escape the devastation the Queens' war would bring? The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance and the MacCatháins have the power to tip the scale.
