Deirdre always thought she was a human-until her destructive faerie magic was unlocked. Seventeen-year-old Deirdre leaves the orphanage behind to study in Neo-London, a city teeming with conflict between humans and Fae. She crosses paths with two brothers, Iain and James Callaghan. Iain is a soldier in the Iron Guard trying to keep his broken family together. Fourteen-year-old James is fascinated by faeries and plans to run away to find his disappeared mother. After Deirdre develops uncontrollable magical abilities, she becomes the target of their father: Alan Callaghan, an extremist general who drains faeries' magic to fuel weapons of war. When he frames her for a treasonous crime, she and James escape together. Iain intends to bring his brother home... and capture Deirdre at all costs. Readers of Holly Black's The Darkest Part of the Forest and classic folklore and fairy tales will enjoy this coming-of-age series filled with epic adventure, humor, and clean slow burn romance.
