Quick recap

Mab, Queen of Winter, buys Harry's debt from his faerie godmother and offers to cancel it for three favors. The first: find who killed Ronald Reuel, the Summer Knight, and recover his stolen mantle. The White Council turns the case into Harry's trial. Elaine, his first love, is Summer's emissary. With help from the Mothers, Harry works out that Aurora, the Summer Lady, killed Reuel and hid the mantle in Lily, turned to stone. Aurora tries to sacrifice Lily on the Stone Table, but Elaine betrays her and a swarm of pixies brings her down. Lily becomes the new Summer Lady, Fix becomes the Knight, and Harry passes his trial.
