Do you believe in faeries? Not the soft, gentle kind, but the sinister, feral kind - the ones that wreak havoc on everything in their path...As a small child Kaye used to talk to faeries. Now at sixteen she is fierce and independent, travelling from city to city with her mother's rock band, until an ominous attack forces them to return to her childhood home and friends. Once there, Kaye discovers that her childhood memories were real and she is drawn into a secret faerie world by an attraction that she is unable to fight. Finding herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms, Kaye agrees to go along with a plan to disrupt the human sacrifice that binds her faerie friends to their unkind masters. But not everyone has been telling her the truth and she is soon in grave danger...

Esse é o primeiro livro de uma trilogia que abre o universo Modern Fairy Tales, onde tem a segunda trilogia chamada o povo do ar.
Esse livro apresenta a Kaye, uma fada trocada que crescer no mundo humano e acaba conhecendo o Roiben, um soldado da corte Unseelie, que aparece em seu caminho ferido e ela acaba ajudando.
Eu gostei muito desse livro, a construção meio sombria dos personagens, adorei a vibe, é uma coisa diferente das que geralmente vejo em livros sobre magia e eu adorei
