Lydia Carlton is a fairy doctor who can see and communicate with fairies. When she embarks on a journey to visit her father in London, she’s kidnapped by a young man named Edgar Ashenbert who introduces himself as an earl and requests Lydia’s aid in searching for a treasured sword that will prove his status. Although she finds his story dubious, Lydia agrees to work with him—if only because he’s her first real client. Meanwhile, rumors of a heinous burglary abound, and the culprit seems to bear an uncanny resemblance to Edgar…
“‘The Blue Knight Earl’s sword is my final hope. Lydia. Are you going to forsake me?’
His eyes seemed to cling to her, as though she were a lover he was begging not to go. Again, Lydia found herself close to forgetting that she was essentially his prisoner.
‘Please, do not make me answer that.’
‘Don’t leave me.’
‘I don’t understand. Was it not your intention to threaten me that I might do your bidding?’
‘If you insist on leaving, know that you leave behind a man bound for death.’”
