Publisher's Note When Kaye decides to reveal to her mother that she is a faery and was put here in place of the human Kaye, a course of action is set into motion to find the human Kaye while fighting off Silarial, the queen of Seelie Court, who will stop at nothing to get her hands on Roiben's throne.
Industry Reviews "Black's impeccably employed literary quotes at the beginning of each chapter complement this gorgeous fantasy perfectly and may inspire readers to pursue some of the poets and authors referenced...[E]asily one of the most compelling romances in contemporary YA fantasy." (09/01/2007)
"As characters struggle to shape their identities, quintessential coming-of-age themes are as skillfully interwoven as in the earlier adventures, as are seductive contradictions: faeries who cannot lie nonetheless find ways to connive and betray, loyalty and love are wielded as weapons, and ethereal beauty often masks cruelty of the ugliest sort. The chilling game of wits culminates in a satisfying conclusion to this dark, edgy fantasy, a must-purchase for Black's many devoted fans." (05/15/2007)
