Ironside by Holly Black 323 pages
In the realm of Faerie, the time has come for Roiben's coronation.
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.
Miserable 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?
