About the book: year / Fairies love to play dangerous games. Mera Morea's experience was that there were usually three motives for murder: secrets, profit, or passion. But none of them explained the death of the King of the Summer Court. Mera must find out who the killer is as quickly as possible before the fragile peace among the peoples of Thagrad crumbles to dust. Enlisted to help her—or make her life a living hell—is the faerie Sebastian Day, a sarcastic detective who often operates through illegal means. He is completely unpredictable and is willing to do anything to solve a murder, even if it means getting himself killed. The clock is ticking. And Mera has to act quickly, while hiding her deadly secret.
