They told me a bedtime story about a girl with fire in her fingertips and starlight in her eyes. They didn't mention the part where the Fae would come for her.

I'm Alys, an American in York trying to keep my anxiety quiet and my life simple. Classes, a shift at the shoe shop, late-night drinks with Aoife and Tom. Then a tattooed stranger calls me "little duck," throws open a doorway beneath the river, and drags me into a forest that shouldn't exist.

Now the old story isn't a story. My blood burns. The Fae are hunting. And the only person who seems to know why is the dangerous man who stole me in front of a crowded bar and swears he's the only thing standing between me and a war I can't see.

If I want to live, I have to trust the kidnapper who can't decide whether he's my captor or my shield... and learn to wield the fire that terrifies me before it devours everything.
