Prince Oak, baby brother of Jude from the Folk of the Air series, is now all grown up and on his first quest: to rescue his father the traitorous red cap from captivity in the Court of Teeth. But Oak is not our protagonist here. We see the story through the eyes and voice of Suren, nicknamed Ren, the abused daughter of the Lord and Lady of the Court of Teeth who was once to be betrothed to Oak. She has been living in the mortal world breaking the curses of other fae and pining after the years she spent believing she was a normal human girl. But when Oak asks her to join his quest and overthrow her lady mother, she cannot refuse.
