Lila Black is off with the Faeries...
Ever since the Quantum Bomb of 2015 things have been different; the dimensions have fused and suddenly our world is accessible to elves, demons, ghosts and elementals...and their worlds are open to us. Things have been different for Special Agent Lila Black too: tortured and magic-scarred by elves, re-built by humans into a half-robot, part-AI, nuclear fuelled walking arsenal, and carrying the essence of a dead elven necromancer in her chest, sometimes she has trouble figuring out who she is.
And a mission to Otopia, world of the fae, may not help her work it out.
The fae are beautiful, glamorous, exotic and talented, ruled by their king and queen's summer and winter courts. Their inventions make food taste better, make beer diving, and bring sparkle and mischief to the world - but that's only the surface. And Lila's being sent in at the deep end, to the deepest, darkest levels of Otopia: and on the primal level, nothing about the fae is glamorous at all.
In a winter-locked, raw and primitive world, Lila has to deal with the fae at their most basic levels. As tricksters and deal-makers - and the only deals worth making are bloody ones. If Lila's quest is to succeed, and if she is ever to escape Otopia, the right question must be asked, the right sacrifice must be made, and the right quarry must be hunted down on the winter solstice. All of which is difficult, when the only aides Lila brought to Otopia are her friends...
