Ivy Lane survives as a freelance fixer/bounty hunter. Kidnapped by the fae as a child, she escapes with fae magic, but has to conceal it lest she be dragged back to faerie or murdered by the fae lords.
Ivy is a very interesting character, and is depicted well. Her motivations are clear and understandable, although some of her choices are less so. The other main characters are also well depicted.
I enjoyed this book tremendously, and look forward to reading the rest of the series.
