Synopsis "Exile: Volume 2 (in English)"
The Haffling: Book Two Liam Summer, with the face of an angel and the body of an underwear model, has done bad things. Raised as the whore and cat's paw of a murderous fairy queen, he has ruined many with his beauty. When Queen May's plot to unite and rule the fairy and human realms fails, Liam wakes naked and alone in a Manhattan building on fire. Unaware the blaze is arson, and he's its intended victim, he prepares to die. Enter ax-wielding FDNY firefighter Charlie Fitzgerald, who Liam mistakes for an ogre assassin. As Charlie rescues Liam, he realizes the handsome blond has nowhere to go. So he does what he and his family have always done--he helps. As for Queen May, trapped in the body of a flame-throwing salamander, she may be down, but she's not out. Yes, she failed the last time, but Liam--and others--will pay. She knows what must be done: possess a haffling, cross into the human world engorged with magic, and become queen and Goddess over all. As Liam realizes the danger they all face, he discovers unexpected truths. That even the most wicked are not beyond redemption, and that love--true love--is a gift even he can receive.
