But that doesn’t prevent him from trading verbal barbs with me whenever we meet. The only reason he doesn’t kill me on the spot is he’s also a member of the Night Court, and the Court’s magic protects me. His deadly profession means he fears no one.

I’ve done everything I can to bury my fae blood and embrace my human half. The fae of the Night Court are desperately searching for a new monarch to crown before the Court collapses.
