Their happy concord was to share me, their changeling child. Except that now, their changeling child slips away into the dark. With each step, my heart pulls on me, trying to tug me back toward the fairy court. But I keep on. I lost my mother. I was stolen from my father. I was taken from the land that grew my blood. I will not lose the chance to know the first brown-skinned boy I have ever seen at the fairies’ court.
