Something sinister lurks beneath the bright lights of Los Angeles.
Rookie cop Jayla Nofsky thought she'd seen it all. But then a routine patrol spirals into chaos when she encounters a fae, Ghira, opening a portal to Faerie. Ghira's plan? Bring through her psychotic husband and set him loose on the world.
Jayla destroys the portal, leaving Ghira stranded on Earth, but not powerless. She can control minds, proven when she turns Jayla's partner against her. For reasons unknown, her ability won't work on Jayla. Ghira would do anything to reopen the portal, and she only needs one thing. Jayla's blood. The key to getting Jayla to cooperate is an easy target. Jayla's three-year-old daughter, Kenzie.
As the line between ally and enemy blurs, Jayla doesn't know who to trust. Her police captain? A sketchy fae who know so much more about the situation than she does? Her estranged husband?
Jayla's allies' loyalties are uncertain, and every choice she makes could be her last. One immune cop against a fae who can control minds-the odds are stacked against her. But she'll fight. Because if Jayla fails, not just her city, but her daughter will pay the price.
