About this book

When a faerie appears at Kal's door on a stormy night, he makes the mistake of breaking his own sacred rule: never acknowledge the fae. That single moment of weakness shatters his carefully constructed life when his sister Sammie—a powerful young mage—is kidnapped by Ouroboros, a ruthless criminal organization that preys on magic users. Desperate and willing to risk everything, Kal ventures into the dangerous criminal underworld of New London with only a mischievous sylph companion and sheer determination to guide him. This gritty urban fantasy explores what we're willing to sacrifice for family and whether even the most cautious heart can survive when it's forced to stop playing it safe.
