They were up on stage still, Ellen and Lloyd and the rest of Stepping Razor. She figured that would be a good test for how drunk Ellen was-see if she would swallow a butt whole. Kaye took another drag on her cigarette and dropped it into her mother’s beer bottle. Unable to see Roiben until she has fulfilled his quest, Kaye finds herself in the center of the battle of wits and weapons being waged over his throne. 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.

Uneasy in the midst of the malevolent Unseelie Court, pixie Kaye is sure of only one thing-her love for Roiben. In Ironside, the sequel to Tithe, the time has come for Roiben’s coronation. When one talks Val into tracking down the lair of a mysterious creature, Val finds herself torn between her affection for an honorable monster and her fear of what her new friends are becoming. But there’s something eerily beguiling about Val’s new friends. Sporting a new identity, she takes up with a gang of squatters who live in the city’s labyrinthine subway system. In Valiant, the companion to Tithe, seventeen-year-old Valerie runs away to New York City, trying to escape a life that has utterly betrayed her. There, amid the blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms-a struggle that could very well mean her death. Fierce and independent, she drifts from place to place with her mother’s rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. In Tithe, sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad.
