Welcome to Ironhold, where magic may not be permitted, but must always be Fair …

Claris knows she'll never live to be queen. Lady Heir to the crown, she has always lived in the shadow of her father's hatred for the Fair Folk. Now, with a new heir on the way, and her own Fair magic barely hidden, Claris's time is running out.

Sparrow's mother is imprisoned in the king’s dungeons. Desperate to free her before she’s executed, Sparrow is certain her shapeshifting magic can get her inside. All she needs is someone willing to trade places.

When they meet at a magical travelling market, the two girls strike a risky bargain: Sparrow will take Claris's place – though it will mean evading the king’s Witchfinder and his infuriatingly handsome servant – while Claris is finally free to search for the Fair mother she's always longed to find.

But as they encounter deadly enchantments, betrayals, Heartless Soldiers, and even Death’s own acolytes, Sparrow and Claris discover their quests are far greater than themselves. Because the Fair Folk are returning … and with them comes a war a hundred years in the making.
