The faeries stole Sydney Carton as a child, and made him a mortal servant of the Faery Realm. Now, he has a rare opportunity for revenge against the fae and Charles Darnay, the changeling left in his stead. It will take magic and cunning--cold iron and Realm silver--to hide his intentions from humans and fae and bring his plans to fruition.
