●內容簡介
艾芙對世界的認識全是捏造的，其實根本沒有尼克羅病毒。儘管如此，她仍努力維持理智，因為她明白，對鐵過敏會造成身體機能退化。其實艾爾菲並非人類，而是個既醜陋又矮小的半人半怪，有一半遺傳自人類，另一半來自荊棘之國，而且已經來日無多。就在她摧毀愛之船的引擎時，竟不小心釋放了荊棘之國的怪獸，讓牠們跑到鋼鐵之國作亂。這下子她得設法封鎖各個入口，讓這個足以置她於死地的世界免於毀滅的命運。
●Everything Aoife thought she knew about the world was a lie. There is no Necrovirus. And Aoife isn't going to succomb to madness because of a latent strain—she will lose her faculties because she is allergic to iron. Aoife isn't human. She is a changeling—half human and half from the land of Thorn. And time is running out for her. When Aoife destroyed the Lovecraft engine, she released the monsters from the Thorn Lands into the Iron Lands and now she must find a way to seal the gates and reverse the destruction she's ravaged on the world that's about to poison her.
