Patience is a changeling with a problem. His body doesn't match how he feels on the inside; it always reverts to a 'wrong' form. For someone who can look however he wants for a short period of time, it's a devilish problem. In his effort to make the change permanent, he puts himself at odds with the residents and royalty of Port Jaws, and it seems like marriage into one of the legendary Wandering Houses of the Body, is the only way out. But will marrying the household of Thrice Spider House actually solve his problems, or just make more?
