Kaye is used to drifting from place to place with her mother’s rock band, until an ominous attack forces them back to her childhood home. Kaye’s always had the unique ability to see faeries, so when she stumbles upon an injured faerie knight in the woods, she decides to save him.

But this fateful choice has dire consequences, as she soon finds herself the unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms. Will Kaye escape with her life?

Critic Reviews

'Debauchery, despair, deceit, and grisly death – what more could you ask for from a fairy tale? A luscious treat for fans of urban fantasy and romantic horror.' (Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review)
'The exquisite faeries haunt as well as charm.' (Publishers Weekly)

story 4/5: If you're familiar with the folk of the air series by Holly Black, you'll recognize the MCs. This book goes into how Roiban and Kay met and took over the court of termites, but be patient as the beginning is slow as you're experiencing the world building from the perspective of a floundering teen.

narration 3/5: the narrator did okay and I liked all the various voice inflictions to denote the different characters, hower my biggest criticsm is the depiction of Roiban. He's scary and intimidating, but the narrators interpretation made him seem soft and feminine, with an inconsistent Irish lilt.

I enjoyed reading the novellas that expand on the world from this series and would recommend it to all ages looking for a bit of fiction to distract from reality.

good addition to TFOTA series

In reference to the comment about smoking, this book was actually published in 2002, not in the 2020s, a fact easily learned from a quick google search.

I listen to audio books when I clean my house to help pass the time. this didn't help pass the time. too much smoking that added nothing to the plot. it's 2024! how did that even get through? plot was all over the place.

boring, plot jumped around
