Aphria Yewslain, the bastard daughter of one of the princes of the Seelie Court and the lord of the infamous Chameleon Court, has been expelled from her father's court once and for all. After being forced to attend one of her half-brother's meetings, Aphria discovers information that forces her to make a decision: be useful and return to the world of her mother and warn the good Shadowhunters of an impending attack or stay in her father's court and remain useless. Once her horse, Ailbe, abandons her at the Lake of Mirrors, Aphria realises that her childhood wish was granted and she was no longer considered part of the Chameleon Court. She flees to Los Angeles in search of the Blackthorns, a family who she feels akin to, upon discovering the parentage of the eldest two, Helen and Mark Blackthorn. There, she discovers all of the mysteries of the mundane world: pasta, beds, phones and nercomancy. Well . . . Maybe not the last one.
