He thought he was a regular kid – until he found out he wasn't a faerie.

Malthiar has never known any world but Faerie, has never thought of himself as anything besides "fae." When his father reveals that he's half-human, the news shatters his idyllic childhood illusions.

Now that the truth is out, Malthiar finds his faerie friends less than welcoming. Alone and out-of-sorts, Malthiar hopes that searching for the mother he never knew might offer a chance to find his place in the world. But his travels to Earth and efforts to make human friends only result in fascination, confusion – and potent fuel for a young man's insecurities.

As Malthiar's search for his mother becomes a search for himself and where he belongs, one resounding doubt plagues his every step: Is it even possible for a human mother to love a mixed-up misfit who doesn't belong anywhere?
