Aislinn has always seen the hidden faeries that navigate the mortal world, fearing their cruelty and the danger their sight might bring.

Aislinn’s high school friendships and ordinary plans are suddenly eclipsed by the fierce rules of faerie politics, forcing her to decide whether to embrace her newfound Sight or maintain her ordinary life. As stakes rise—from her best friend, Seth, to her own freedom—Aislinn must confront the ancient bargains and modern expectations that bind her to a realm invisible to most. This tale blends teenage angst, romance, and perilous intrigue in a modern fantasy setting.
