Toby Daye--a half-human, half-fae changeling--has been an outsider from birth.
If Toby can\'t find the killer soon, she may well become the next victim..
Toby soon discovers that someone has begun murdering people close to January, whose domain is a buffer between Sylvester\'s realm and a scheming rival duchy.
It seems like a simple enough assignment--but when dealing with the realm of Faerie nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
Now Sylvester has asked her to go to the County of Tamed Lightning--otherwise known as Fremont, CA--to make sure that all is well with his niece, Countess January O\'Leary, whom he has not been able to contact.
Toby is the only changeling who has earned knighthood, and she re-earns that position every day, undertaking assignments for her liege, Sylvester, the Duke of the Shadowed Hills.
Like her mother, she is gifted in blood magic, able to read what has happened to a person through a mere taste of blood.
