About the book:
You can’t predict a changeling by their kith. We’re not so easily defined.
But we are connected to others who fashioned themselves the same way. You meet another Playmate’s eye and know you share something no one else can understand. In a way, you’re kin.
This is the Lost struggle. Did They take me apart so thoroughly that putting me back together rearranged the pieces entirely? Am I what they made me to be, or can I decide my own shape?
The bad news is you’ll never find an answer you’re satisfied with.
The good news is you don’t have to wrestle with this stuff alone.
They wanted to fit you into a mold, but people aren’t like that. This struggle is what separates us from Them.
— Red, Darkling Playmate
