Returning to the Summerlands, the fairy world where she became Lady in Winterling, Fer must defend her title at a contest set by the High Ones. She chooses helping others (including her undependable puck friend Rook) over winning but fears that the unscrupulous fairy Arenthiel might get the crown. Old pagan lore, wild nature, and tests of conscience combine for a well-constructed magical plot.
