Description

Chicago-over-Chicago is not in the mortal world, it is in the world "between", the "sometimes place". According to Lea, it is "the place the Queens call forth when the Sidhe desire to spill blood." [1]

It is a model of the land that Chicago is built on crafted of clouds and mist. yet solid to stand on. Mist covered the found making it difficult to discern if it was made of wood, concrete or dirt. The landscape was rolling hills and shallow valleys covered in fog. The sky was clear and the stars were bright and multi-colored. Thunder rumbled and the ground shook.[1]

This is where the Faerie Queens fight for control over the Stone Table.[1][2]

In the series

Summer Knight

In Summer Knight, the Leanansidhe takes Harry there. to show him the Stone Table and to help him understand what is at stake. Harry looks at it with his Sight and sees the convict of powers—the "naked strength of two Queens of Faerie". Lea warned Harry never to let Mab bring him there. [1]

Harry and two and a dozen Alphas in wolf form followed the Gatekeeper's stone to the end of a pier on the Lake. There they found a translucent stairway make of congealed starlight as bright as moonlight. They climbed up into a dark swirling storm to Chicago-over-Chicago and onto a rolling hill at the Valley of the Stone Table and into the midst of a war raging between the Summer and Winter Faerie Courts. Their purpose is to stop Aurora and save Lily and incidentally save the planet from an eco-tragedy.[2]

Changes

In Changes, when Harry calls Mab after he broke is back and in his desperation to save his daughter Maggie Angelica. Mab brings Harry there where they make a deal to heal his body and help him save Maggie in exchange for taking up the Winter Knight's Mantle. Lea reminded Harry that she warned him never to let Mab bring him there.
