When Jesse's faerie bounty hunter parents vanish without a trace, this resourceful eighteen-year-old trades her college plans for her mom and dad's weapons and a crash course in the magical underworld they've been protecting her from. The dangerous fae she encounters are intimidating enough, but nothing prepares her for Lukas—a mysterious, impossibly compelling faerie who offers his help, even as she struggles to trust his motives. As Jesse races through a treacherous landscape of magic and deception to save her parents before time runs out, she discovers she's caught in a much larger game where the stakes are higher than she ever imagined. In a world where allies and enemies wear the same beautiful, deceiving faces, Jesse will have to rely on her wits, her heart, and the one person she's least sure about.

Ethereal yet haunting soundscapes blending dark indie folk with atmospheric synth-pop. Think Florence + The Machine's mystery, Phoebe Bridgers' vulnerability, and orchestral undertones. Soft, mesmerizing, with an edge of danger lurking beneath every note.
