Uneasy in the midst of the malevolent Unseelie Court, pixie Kaye is sure of only one thing — her love for Roiben. But when Kaye, drunk on faerie wine, declares herself to Roiben, he sends her on a seemingly impossible quest. Now Kaye can’t see or speak to Roiben unless she can find the one thing she knows doesn’t exist: a faerie who can tell a lie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMiserable and convinced she belongs nowhere, Kaye decides to tell her mother the truth — that she is a changeling left in place of the human daughter stolen long ago. Her mother’s shock and horror sends Kaye back to the world of Faerie to find her human counterpart and return her to Ironside. But once back in the faerie courts, Kaye finds herself a pawn in the games of Silarial, queen of the Seelie Court. Silarial wants Roiben’s throne, and she will use Kaye, and any means necessary, to get it. In this game of wits and weapons, can a pixie outplay a queen?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_c8d7b3-36 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_c8d7b3-36\"\u003eAwards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIronside\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003ewas nominated for both a Locus Award and a Mythopoeic Award in 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"writing_praise block\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"section_header\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePraise\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quote\"\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecadent and deadly, the urban fantasy setting is not for the faint of heart; the cruelties of even the so-called good faeries are breathtaking.
