When Pyrgus Malvae's father arrives at the Purple Palace his appearance causes more than a little shock. After all, he was supposed to be dead. Add to that the fact that the recently deceased Purple Emperor is now an ally of the Faeries of the Night are in charge, an insane woman is now the queen, the old order is seriously under threat, and Pygus and Holly Blue have to get to the bottom of all this chaos. When Henry arrives from the human realm to help, little can he imagine the diabolical world he is about to enter, nor that he will have to do so much to try and put everything right.
A furiously paced and multilayered novel, rich with humour, tension and suspense, that will keep you gripped page after page.
