Ionantha Hesperis was the greatest of all the Queen's Harvester Faeries when she was felled by a cursed Fey blade and stripped of her magic powers. Forgotten, but bitterly refusing to die, she learned to exist on cunning, an aging mortal within an immortal society fueled by magic she could no longer taste. But when the queen's pixie dust shipment is hijacked, putting the entire magical economy at risk, Ionantha is summoned into service once more and tasked by a vengeful Queen with solving the case of the century.
