About This Book

The sharp scent of magic fills the air as Aileana wakes with no memory but strange, powerful energy coursing through her veins. The world she knew is tangled in a fierce battle between two fae clans, and the fate of both humans and faeries hangs by a thread. Can she master her dark powers before they consume her—and the world she’s desperate to save?
