Deor Smithfield has her life mapped out. She lands a teaching position at a respected university and prepares to relocate across the country. Then her body starts failing her. The same mysterious illness that claimed her mother now ravages Deor's health. Doctors cannot help her. Her grandmother reveals a shocking truth: Deor's absent father was no ordinary deadbeat. He was fae, making Deor a Changeling caught between two worlds. His parting magical gift is slowly killing her. Deor must travel to Faerie and locate her missing father before time runs out. She arrives with no allies, no resources, and only days to complete her search. If she fails, she will be expelled back to the human world to die. Making matters worse, someone is systematically hunting Changelings throughout Faerie. Deor faces a deadly game where her mixed heritage makes her both the key to survival and a target for elimination.
