Quick recap

A year later, Harry is attacked by gruffs, servants of the Summer Court, at one of Marcone's buildings. Mab calls in a favor and orders Harry to find Marcone, kidnapped by Denarian cultists. The Council brings in the Archive, a girl Harry calls Ivy, as arbiter, but the Denarians capture her at the Shedd Aquarium. Harry arranges to trade coins and the sword Fidelacchius for her. At the exchange on a Lake Michigan island, Harry and Sanya rescue Ivy and Marcone, but Michael is shot. Murphy ends up drawing Fidelacchius. Mab explains she took some of Harry's memories to shield him from the gruffs. Michael survives, but his recovery is uncertain.
