== Backstory == Adelaide Tanner was born in a poor, London, working-class family, one of many children. With her thin, sickly appearance, her parents did not expect her to survive long, but the girl turned out to be extremely healthy, despite her appearance. Her parents, Cora and Nigel, are both committed radical left-wing activists and Adelaide grew up immersed in Marxist and anarchist ideas. When she showed a bookish bent, her parents encouraged that, using some of their meager funds to buy her books. They took pride in her abilities, the socialist movement needed working-class intellectuals, and with her sickly appearance, she would have a hard time finding work requiring physical labor.<br> <br> When she turned sixteen, some beings followed Adelaide at night. She prepared to defend herself, but they explained that they had come to reunite her with her own kind. Adelaide was not in fact human but a changeling, a spriggan placed in a human body. Spriggans normally appear as pale, twisted gnomes—thus Adelaide sickly appearance. But when necessary, they swell to enormous size and take on all comers in a fight. Her mission, these fae said, had been to learn about the machines for the Lady of the Seelie Court in order to sabotage them. At first, Adelaide felt drawn to work for the Seelie Court. It was a whole new world of things to discover and sabotaging machinery seemed like it could be part of the struggle against capitalism and authority. But she quickly discovered that many fae had no concern if they killed large numbers of humans with their acts of sabotage and some members of the Unseelie Court and Hunt positively reveled in it.<br> <br> Adelaide quickly decided, changeling or not, she wanted nothing to do with these fae. They were one more unjust authority to rebel against. Fortunately, she discovered there were other changelings who had decided they wanted nothing to do with their self-proclaimed matters.
