We first met William in book 1 (On the Edge). In this world, you have the "Broken:" non-magical, "real" world, the "Weird:" magic exists, and the "Edge:" the place between. Most in the Weird are unable to cross into the Broken. Those in the Broken are ignorant of the existence of the other 2. The Edgers (as they are called) can easily cross into the Broken and may cross into the Weird if they have enough magic. William is a wolf changeling. Cerise comes from a magical family and lives in the Mire. The Mire are the swamplands of the Edge. Cerise's maternal grandparents were exiled to the Edge from the state of Louisiana (part of the "Weird.").
Cerise's parents are kidnapped and someone in the family is a traitor. There is an ongoing feud with another Mire local family that's been going on for decades. I enjoyed Cerise and William met-up and gradual warm-up to each other. Lots of action and more gore in this one compared to the first. I loved Cerise's family and look forward to her cousin's stories (Richard and Kaldar).
Also got more of an idea of the politics between factions of the Weird (state of Louisiana (the Hand) and Adrianglia (the Mirror).
