"Sixteen-year-old Joan Sands creates and maintains the stage blades for William Shakespeare's acting company, the King's Men, using her magical ability to control metal--a power gifted to her by the Orisha Ogun. Joan and her family have always been aware of the Fae's presence within London society--subtle, peaceful, and marked by the faint glow that only those blessed by the Orisha can see. When England's new king fails to uphold the pact between his realm and theirs, brutal attacks forewarn the approach of a malevolent presence. After Joan wounds a powerful Fae and saves the son of a cruel lord, she finds herself thrown into the middle of the approaching war between the human and Fae worlds"--Dust jacket flap.
