Lugh, the Shining Champion of the Seelie court has been forced to take in dark magic to stay alive, because the life-sustaining magic of the Mounds is gone.  While he and his human druidess, London, search desperately for the artifacts necessary to create a new source of magic, he is succumbing at an accelerated rate to the dark magic he has poisoned himself with; becoming darker, edgier, more violent, more deceitful and more immoral with every day.  Meanwhile, the young, earthborn Unseelie faction are being trained by Donovan, the former chief assassin of the Unseelie court.  Donovan directs his crew to search for the same artifacts, while, at the same time, they must try to manifest and control their unfamiliar Sidhe powers.  Malcolm, the teenage Unseelie Bloodhound continues to struggle with the trauma of his recent torture and imprisonment. New characters enter the fray, alliances shift, and a pair of villains, thought dead in the collapse of the Mounds, show up.  I can hardly wait for the next installment.  Great characterization, imaginative plotting, clever idea, high quality writing. My favorite series of any genre.
