And Aoife isn’t going to succomb to madness because of a latent strain-she will eventually lose her faculties because she actually is hypersensitive to iron. Aoife isn’t individual. She actually is a changeling-half human and half in the land of Thorn. And time is operating out on her behalf.

When Aoife destroyed the Lovecraft engine she released the monsters from the Thorn Lands in to the Iron Lands and now she must discover a way to seal the gates and reverse the damage she’s ravaged in the world that’s going to poison her.
