Half-fae LilyDark Abernathy (Seven Black Diamonds) is "daughter of two worlds and two courts." She plans to broker peace between humans and fae by ascending the Hidden Throne, but someone of fae blood is still murdering humans. Can there be peace? Numerous viewpoints and forsaken plot threads somewhat muddy this political fantasy in which Lily learns that diplomacy--like family--is rarely tidy.
