The second book in the stunning YA historical fantasy trilogy that New York Times bestselling author Ayana Gray called "nothing short of spectacular"--now in paperback There's trouble in the court of James I. Joan Sands, magic metal-worker, needs to figure out how to get her grandfather out of the royal prisons and also stay out of the way of Titanea, the fae queen who has taken over the body of Queen Anne.

Titanea draws Joan into court intrigue by naming her a lady-in-waiting and compelling Joan to never lie in front of her. Meanwhile, the fae are still harassing and killing humans throughout the city--and the solution to all of these problems is to reforge the pact between humanity and the fae.

Joan is the only child of Ogun who can do it--while also balancing her two loves, Rose and Nick, and escaping Titanea's wrath.
