A queer take on the story of Tam Lin.

Fitzwilliam Herne has the bad habit of not looking where he's going - which is how he lands himself and his beloved dog Pepper in trouble with the Queen of the Fae.

To earn back his and Pepper's freedom, Fitz strikes up a deal: he will recover the Queen's lost Starlit Crown from her abandoned castle. But first, he has to find it. He needs a guide.

​Tam Lin lives a quiet and peaceful life as a swordmaster in a small village. He's the only mortal man to have ever escaped the Queen, and he knows how hard it is to do so and live to tell the tale.

When Fitz asks Tam Lin for help, Tam Lin has no option but to accept. He refuses to abandon another innocent creature to the Queen's machinations.

Together they embark on a perilous journey filled with deceit, trickery, and sabotage. They will have to rely on each other to survive, so the growing, fierce attraction between them is a little inconvenient.
