Dear agent (snip name)
I took  stock of my injuries.  I hadn't even been on the job a month and I had  14 bruises, a concussion, multiple cuts and abrasions, a broken bone,  and now, a gunshot wound.  Being a tooth fairy shouldn't be this hard.  
So opens my 95,000 word urban fantasy novel, A Troll Wife's  Tale.
When Troll Wife first becomes a tooth fairy, all she can  see are the good things. She has a steady job. She's making friends.  Best of all are the tooth fairy wings and flying.
After a few  days, she starts to see the problems. She's racking up an impressive  number of on the job injuries. Her friends only accept her because they  can't tell she's a troll while she's wearing the wings. The wings take  away her troll ability to smell a person's character and emotions. 
She  notices that going even a day without wearing the wings makes her  irritable. Are the wings addictive? If so, why?
It seems that  tooth fairies also have enemies. Oubliette, the most efficient soldier  in the human/fae war hundreds of years ago, hasn't given up fighting the  war against the humans.  
Tooth fairies keep the peace pact with  humans and Oubliette wants to end that pact. Oubliette seems determined  to convince Troll Wife of the dangers of humans. If Oubliette is right,  is the peace pact actually destroying all the fae?
When a  homeless boy that Troll Wife has befriended loses his first tooth, Troll  Wife has to make sure he keeps the pact before Oubliette catches up to  him.
