First published 2013
Syn never wanted anything to do with the Fae. She knows the old Celtic legends well enough: beautiful, magical, deadly, and fond of tormenting humans for sport. But when a string of murders starts dropping both Fae and Witches, Syn and her friends decide to find out who is responsible. The investigation pulls her straight into the world she despises. Then comes Ryder, Prince of the Dark Fae, and he has decided Syn works for him now. He is arrogant, controlling, and relentless about possessing her. He is also dangerously attractive, with golden eyes that seem to drag her closer every time he looks at her. Syn hates what she feels around him. She trusts her judgment, and her judgment says stay away. But the murders keep coming, the suspects multiply, and nothing about this case is what it appears to be on the surface. That includes Syn herself. She and her friends can rely on no one. The real tension is not just who is killing Fae and Witches. It is whether Syn can hold the line against a man who seems built to pull it down.
