Ironside, by Holly Black (McElderry Books, 2007)

After foolishly proclaiming her love for her faerie boyfriend Roiben in the middle of his coronation as the Unseelie Court’s new King, Kaye is dispatched on an impossible quest: to find a faerie who cannot lie. This quest leads her into hazards aplenty, including a murderous attempt by the Seelie Queen to reclaim her errant knight and unite the courts under one ruler. In the middle of this, Kaye also sets out to find the human girl with whom she was swapped as a child, even if it costs Kaye the only family she’s ever known. In this sequel to Tithe and Valiant, Holly Black revisits an edgy, fascinating world of magic and treachery, where nothing is ever quite as it seems. Black is fast becoming a major new voice in urban fantasy.
