MacKayla Lane returns to Dublin after her sister Alina's murder. She discovers she comes from a bloodline that connects her to an ancient war between humans and immortals called the Fae. Mac seeks the Sinsar Dubh, a book of dark magic written by the Unseelie King that can create or destroy worlds. The book turns against her and threatens everyone she cares about. Mac moves between the Lord Master's penthouse and Unseelie nightclubs, from her lover's bed to the Unseelie King's chambers. She encounters a mysterious woman in her dreams while trying to understand her own identity. An ancient tarot card shows her glimpses of her destiny. Mac must learn the truth about why she and Alina were banished from Ireland as children. The battle between humans and Fae forces her to make a choice that will determine the world's fate.
