Cathy and Will are now the Duchess and Duke of Londinium, the biggest Fae-touched Nether city, but they have different ideas of what their authority offers. Pressured by his Fae patron, Lord Iris, Will struggles to maintain total control whilst knowing he must have a child with his difficult wife. Cathy wants to muscle the Court through two hundred years of social change and free it from its old-fashioned moral strictures. But Cathy learns just how dangerous it can be for a woman who dares to speak out... Meanwhile, as Sam learns more about the Elemental Court it becomes clear that the Fae are not the only threat to humanity. Sam realises that he has to make enemies of the most powerful people on the planet, or risk becoming the antithesis of all he believes in. Threatened by secret societies, hidden power networks, and Fae machinations, can Sam and Cathy survive long enough to make the changes they want to see in the world?

The series had been unusal reading experience for me. The first volume had been interesting but for some unexplicable reason I could not really get into it. So I tried reading few last chapters – that went OK. I came back to continue from beginning and stalled again after several pages. So I went and read a few previous-to-last chapters – no stalling. In the end I finished whole book in that manner reading in chunks from end to beginning. And the „it's interesting, but cannot get into it” feeling had been there for the other 3 volumes, so I read all 4 in this somewhat unusual manner, and now I'm waiting for the final one wondering if I should try to read it in the conventional way or give up and start at the ending. ;-)
