In the thirty years since Elizabeth I ascended her throne, fae and mortal politics have become inextricably entwined, in secret alliances and ruthless betrayals whose existence is suspected only by a few. Two courtiers, both struggling for royal favor, are about to uncover the secrets that lie behind these two thrones. And a faerie lady's courage and loyalty are about to be tested.
The year is 1639, and King Charles I and Parliament vie for power, fighting one another with politics and armies alike. A greater threat is growing, and under a new king, mortal and fae will have to lay aside the differences that divide them, and fight together for the survival of London itself.
It is 1759, and scientists are mapping the laws of the natural world, disproving ancient superstition. The fee of the Onyx Court fear that magic is losing its place in the world-and science threatens to expose the court to hostile eyes. Yet they and the mortais above may have to harness both magic and science to defeat a common foe.
It is 1884, and Eliza searches for her childhood sweetheart, who vanished from the streets of Whitechapel. No one believed her when she said that he was stolen away by the fairies. Beneath London, the fae in the Onyx Court are under siege, the iron of the underground railway destroying their home of three centuries. Many flee to the countryside.
