MacKayla Lane's ordinary life in Georgia is shattered by the unsolved murder of her sister in Ireland. Driven by a cryptic final message, she travels to Dublin seeking answers, only to be drawn into a shadowy realm she never knew existed. In a city where ancient Celtic myths are a terrifying reality, Mac discovers that the handsome face of a stranger can hide a monstrous truth and that a war between humanity and the immortal Fae is imminent. She soon learns she is a sidhe-seer, a rare human gifted with the ability to see the Fae, a power that makes her both a target and a tool.

Forced to navigate a world where good and evil wear the same seductive mask, MacKayla must forge uneasy alliances to survive. Her every move is shadowed by the enigmatic Jericho Barrons, a man who seems to know more than he reveals about her sister's death and the Fae. As the boundary between worlds crumbles, her personal quest for justice becomes a race to find an all-powerful dark artifact before it falls into the wrong hands, an act that would give its wielder control over both worlds. This journey will force her to question everything she thought she knew about her family, her past, and her own identity.
