Erica's world is crumbling—she's a hunted GateKeeper, someone's systematically murdering her kind, and a devastating family secret her mother buried is about to upend everything she thought she knew about herself and Guy. Throw in an army of Lost Souls marching toward catastrophe and mysterious forces closing in from all sides, and she's running out of time to figure out who to trust. With her found family by her side—snarky faeries, sassy best friends, and all—Erica has to unravel the mysteries threatening to tear her world apart while navigating the kind of slow-burn tension with Guy that'll make your heart ache. This is epic urban fantasy at its finest: time travel shenanigans, supernaturals galore, and heart-pounding stakes that'll have you desperate to know what comes next.
