Publisher's Synopsis
Faeries are real, but the age of faery-tales has ended. It's the dawn of the twentieth century, after all-a new era of iron and industry, free from the fear of what lurks in the Wood. Or so people tell themselves.
What then, is a world-weary, middle-aged cop supposed to do when one of the darkest of the dark fae, an Unseelie noble bearing such ominous titles as "Ashen Butcher" and "Knight of the Thousands Wailing," comes knocking at his door asking for help?
The master of the local Unseelie court has been murdered; the apparent heir to the throne is missing; and once again, Detective Inspector Stephen Nesh's life is about to change irrevocably . . . and all the rest of the world with it.
