Mina returns to the Dreamlands to find that things have changed in her absence. Her mission remains the same: to find a story, record it, and deliver it to the Real-a world next-door to the Dreamlands where magic does not exist. Her dangerous friend Shade is the new King of Shadows, with all of the responsibilities and possibilities that implies. While Mina struggles to find her footing in a world that seems to have moved on without her, a series of disturbing dreams leads her to believe that all is not well with her first story in the Real. Worse, it seems as though Shade's new Court of Light and Shadow may be doomed from the start.Armed with ink, paper, magic, and luck, Mina sets out to address the mystery of the missing Queen of Light, whose lost magic is necessary for the court to survive. One serious misunderstanding later, Mina finds that the entire fate of the fledgling Court of Light and Shadow may rest on her ability to conduct a successful rescue . . . or two.
