Berlin in autumn: Christine Starlight lives in an artists' colony with her lover Jude, whose patience and beauty have eased her battle with chronic pain. But Christine begins to be haunted by childhood recollections of a little girl's disappearance and the flapping of a blackbird's wings. Then her world is rocked by the return of a childhood friend... Mayfridh rules over a land where a wolf is the queen's counsellor, fate turns on the fall of an autumn leaf and mortals feel no pain. As Christine becomes addicted to Mayfridh's world, so Mayfridh grows addicted to Christine's, falling dangerously in love with Jude.

About the Author:
Born in London, Kim Wilkins moved to Australia when she was four. A variety of bad jobs (including 'indulging an embarrassing wish to be an alternative-rock goddess') preceded her first novel, The Infernal, which won the 1997 Aurealis Awards. It was followed by Grimoire, The Resurrectionists and Fallen Angel, and a young adult series about a teenage psychic detective. She is married and the mother of a young son, Luka.
From AudioFile:
Christine Starlight lives in Berlin in a hotel owned by Immanuel Z, who hunts and kills Faeries. Christine stumbles into the Land of Faerie and is sought by Mayfridh, a childhood friend and Queen of the Faeries. Christine must keep Mayfridh and her world safe from Immanuel Z. Richard Aspel reads this strange tale with jarring accents of loud Germans, louder Swedes, and unusual Aussies. Christine is American, but Aspel can't settle on one accent, and his tone is whiny. The dialogue is childlike even while Immanuel Z describes in vivid detail sadistic murders of Faeries, whose bones he uses for his sculptures. If you like faeries, don't venture into this tale.
