After years in a foreign prison cell, Lord Derry SanOsen returns home with only one hope: to live quietly away from all notice. Unfortunately, a chance encounter with a band of fae links him to the magical race, and a bitter reunion with the human Queen promises more trouble for him. Derry only wanted to come home and hide from the world, but with the fae blamed for missing children and dark magic haunting the land, that is not going to happen.
