in the realm of faerie...
...the time has come for Roiben's coronation. Uneasy in the midst of the malevolent Unseelie Court, pixie Kaye is sure of only one thing—her love for Roiben. But when Kaye drunkenly declares herself to Roiben, he sends her on a seemingly impossible quest to find a faerie who can tell a lie.
Miserable and convinced she belongs nowhere, Kaye decides to tell her mother the truth—that she is a changeling left in place of the human daughter stolen long ago. Her mother's shock and horror sends Kaye back to the world of Faerie to find her human counterpart and return her to Ironside. But when Kaye returns to the faerie courts, a battle of wits and weapons is being waged over Roiben's throne, and she soon finds herself at the center of it all.

Taking up her story where Tithe (Simon & Schuster, 2002/VOYA October 2002) left off, Black transports her readers between the human and Faerie worlds straddled by sixteen-year-old Kaye Fierch. Drunk on faerie wine at Roiben's coronation as Unseelie King, she takes bad advice and tries to declare her devotion to Roiben, who by custom must give her a quest. But he gives her a seemingly impossible one: to find a faerie who can lie. Stung by rejection, Kaye must next decide if she should confess to her punk-rocker mom that she is actually a changeling and not her daughter. Her mother's shock plunges her back into the faerie world, again accompanied by her gay best friend, Corny, and his new friend with the Sight, Luis, where she vows to find her mother's true daughter. As the politics between the Bacchanalian Seelie and Unseelie courts grow more bloody and treacherous, Kaye feels used by both sides, but finally she is able to see things clearly and to help Roiben attain the crowns of both kingdoms. Black's fans will be thrilled with this sequel, which resolves not only Roiben's and Kaye's tale but Corny's as well. The story path is again lurid, with the depravity of the underworld summed up by Luis, who says of the fey folk, "They have forever, and what do they do-spend all their time eating and fucking and figuring out complicated ways to kill each other." Indeed these aspects again mark this dark, edgy fantasy as one for the high school audience.

In this sequel to Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale (S & S, 2002), the coronation of Kaye's boyfriend, Roiben, as King of the Unseelie Court seems to signal an end to their relationship. Silarial, Queen of the rival Seelie Court, persists in warring against Roiben and his folk, Kaye's friend Cornelius is cursed by a faery, and Kaye tells her mom that she's really a pixie changeling and that the woman's human daughter has been living in Faerie since babyhood. All in all, things are not going well in either Faerie or Ironside-what faeries call the human realm, in this case New York City and New Jersey-although, on the positive side, Corny does find love with Luis, a human with the ability to cast off faerie curses. Essential for fans of Tithe , this tale of tough yet romantic punks and misfits, both human and faerie, is told in an authentic street voice. It will appeal to readers who like their magic served with a layer of urban grit.

From: Kirkus Reviews
This dark sequel to Tithe (2002) reveals the corruption in even the beautiful parts of faerie. Punky changeling Kaye has just been dumped most brutally. At the coronation of her boyfriend, Roiben, to the throne of the unsavory Unseelie Court, Kaye is goaded by a malicious faery into declaring her love-and Roiben sends her off on an impossible quest. Until she finds a faery who can lie, Kaye is forbidden from seeing Roiben. Heartbroken, Kaye and her friend Corny travel to New York City, where they are entangled in the Seelie Queen's machinations to destroy Roiben and take his land for herself. Kaye's story is standard teen magical-romance fare, but it's Corny's compelling sideplot that really carries the narrative, providing emotional depth, character development and a poignant conclusion. Decadent and deadly, the urban fantasy setting is not for the faint of heart; the cruelties of even the so-called good faeries are breathtaking. Fans of faerypunk will eat it up. (Fantasy. YA)
