October "Toby" Daye is finally doing all right. She's settling into her
new role as the Countess of Goldengreen; she's actually dating again;
she's even agreed to take on Quentin as her official squire. Life is
looking up all around--and that inevitably means it's time for things to
take a turn for the worse.
Someone has kidnapped the sons of Duchess Dianda Lorden, regent of the
Undersea Duchy of Saltmist. To prevent a war between land and sea, Toby
must not only find the missing boys, but also prove that the Queen of
the Mists was not behind their abduction. She'll need all her tricks and
the help of all her allies if she wants to make it through this in one
piece.
Toby's search will take her from the streets of San Francisco to the
lands beneath the waves, and her deadline is firm: she must find the
boys in three days' time, or all of the Mists will pay the price. But
someone is determined to stop her--and whoever it is isn't playing by
Oberon's Laws....
As the battle grows more and more personal, one thing is chillingly
clear. When Faerie goes to war, not everyone will walk away.
