Coal's life has gone from bad to worse. First, he discovers he isn't who he thought he was. Then, he finds out that his mother isn't dead. Her name is Jade and she's very-much-alive. And if that's not enough, it's his fault that his foster brother is in the hospital seriously injured. When he finds his way back to the fey realm, Coal has only one goal: find a way to heal his foster brother. Unfortunately, civil war is brewing in the fey realm. Chalcedony promises to heal Coal's foster brother, but it will come at a price. She needs Coal's help to give her the upper hand in the war. But Jade has other plans for her son; plans that will rock the fey realm and the human world like nothing before.
