The year is 1639, and King Charles I and Parliament vie for power, fighting one another with politics and armies alike. Below the streets of London, the faerie court has enemies of its own. The old ways are breaking down, and no one knows what will take their place. A greater threat is growing, and under a new king, mortal and fae will have to lay aside the differences that divide them, and fight together for the survival of London itself...
