Outsiders from birth, these half-human, half-fae children spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations. Or, in the case of October "Toby" Daye, rejecting it completely. After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the fae world, retreating into a normal life. Unfortunately for her, Faerie has other ideas... The murder of Countess Evening Winterrose, one of the secret regents of the San Francisco Bay Area, pulls Toby back into the fae world.

Toby knew what she was doing when she threw her lot in with Devin, but when the time comes to get out, she has a little less of a clue. In order to win her freedom, she must do something to impress the local nobilityand the collapse of the Queens knowe would seem to be exactly the opportunity shes been waiting for to prove herself! Set well before the events of Rosemary and Rue, this is a rare look at Tobys past as a changeling street rat, before she discovered her destiny as a Hero of the Realm.
