Lana Baker is Aldgate's finest scribe, with a sharp pen and an even
sharper wit. Gregarious, charming, and ever so eager to please, she
agrees to deliver a message for another lovely scribe in exchange
for kisses and ends up getting sent to Low Parliament by a
temperamental fairy as a result. As Lana transcribes the endless
circular arguments of Parliament, the debates grow tenser and more
desperate. Due to long-standing tradition, a hung vote will cause
Parliament to flood and a return to endless war. Lana must rely on
an unlikely pair of comrades - Bugbite, the curmudgeonly fairy, and
Eloquentia, the bewitching human deputy - to save humanity (and
maybe even woo one or two lucky ladies), come hell or high water.
"Brilliantly structured . . . with a delicious tension carefully
developed among the wonderful characters." --The New York Times
