There is also Niall, a Summer Court faery with a somehow complicated history with Irial's court and Irial himself, and a nature than makes his embrace deadly addictive to humans. It's Irial's eyes and wings that Leslie, unknowingly but surely, picks up for her design: and it's a beginning of a bond between her and Irial that will, at first, make her confident and pain-free again, but which will gradually reveal itself to be an addiction more disempowering than anything that had happened to Leslie before. Their king Irial instigates a process of Ink Exchange which might help the situation. She doesn't confide in anybody and, increasingly struggling with her own feelings after her brother spikes her drink and allows her to be raped by his dealer friend, feels compelled to get an elaborate tattoo as means of regaining control of her body, and her life.Īt the same time the fey of the Dark Court are suffering: since the truce between the Winter and Summer courts there aren't enough strong faerie emotions for them to feed on - and they can't directly pick up human ones. Leslie's life is not much fun: her father is a drunk and a gambler, her brother uses (and deals) in drugs and it's up to her to maintain a façade of normality and find the money to pay the bills the father misses with her waitressing job.
