He's Robin Goodfellow to those he knows. Or Puck, his psychotic alter-ego, to those he kills. Betrayed, banished and bitter, this fae warrior lives among human beings; they think he's a demon. As for the teenagers he's vowed to protect, they despise him. But now the fae need his help, especially the man who betrayed him. He's brought along Robin's lover to guarantee his cooperation.
Yet things are not as they seem. For shadowy forces within the fae have different plans. It's not Robin they want. They need Puck. He's the perfect stooge to kill a king.
