Book Description:
Sometimes you find home, sometimes it comes looking for you.
Callie knows a lot more about pain than she does about family. She’s never belonged, at least, not until she falls through a portal into her true home. The beautiful faerie city of Eirensae doesn’t come free. Callie must find her amulet and bind herself to the city, and most importantly, avoid the Fallen fae who seek her life. Seems like a small price to pay for the family she’s always wanted.
Then she meets cynical and gorgeous Rowan, who reads the darkness of her past in her eyes. He becomes Callie’s part-time protector and full-time pain in the ass. He has secrets of his own for Callie to unravel. What they don’t know is that the future of Eirensae lies with them, and the once peaceful city is about to become a battleground for power.
Book Excerpt
“Rowan.” She shook her hair, blinked, and her eyes changed from vivid green to sunshine yellow. “I saw you with the girl.”
“Mmm?” He said, noncommittal, leaning in close to hear her over the party.
She blinked again. Yellow to florescent pink. “Pick your poison. I’m sure Callie will be amicable to our…selection.”
Rowan felt laughter rumble in his chest. “Just give me whatever.”
The bartender disappeared for a moment and returned with two champagne flutes, one filled with a deep blue fizzing drink that puffed violet smoke, the other was a dark shade of indigo that swirled and sparkled. She winked at Rowan, one eye teal, the other pitch black, iris-less. “Have a good time,” she cooed, trailing her tongue over the sharp daggers in her mouth.
Rowan thanked her and pushed his way to the crowd, shuddering over thoughts of the faerie’s teeth and the rending they could deliver.
When Rowan neared the group, he saw Callie fidgeting with her hands, scanning the crowd. He let himself think she was looking for him. He crept up from behind and whispered in her ear. “Looking for someone?”
She jumped and spun, nearly knocking the drinks from his hands.
“Ooh!” Willow exclaimed. “Drink the blue. It makes you—” Ash shushed her. “It’s good,” she amended.
Callie inspected the drinks, skepticism all over her face. “What is it?”
“Oblivion,” Ash said with a grin.
Rowan handed her the blue drink, giving the other to Willow, who thanked him and downed the flute in one swallow. Callie was slower, pressing the glass to her lips and inhaling before tipping it back. If it tasted strange, she didn’t comment. She took another sip of the wine and Rowan wondered how long it would take the drink to affect her.
“Shall we dance?” Ash asked, nodding to the dance floor, making Rowan regret not being the first to ask.
“Um…no. Not really.” She took a few steps back, distancing herself from them as if she thought they might drag her on the floor against her will.
Ash frowned. “You have to dance, it’s your ceremony.”
“It’s like the law or something,” Willow chimed in, looping her arm through Ash’s. Standing side by side, their features were nearly identical, down to the way they tilted their heads and waited for Callie to answer.
“I don’t dance,” she said. “Besides, there’s tons of people out there. No one is going to notice me standing over here, drinking my…oblivion.”
Ash and Willow shared a look.
“She says that now,” Ash said. “Dancing is like breathing around here. We dance for everything.”
“Birth,” Willow said, “dance, death, dance, sunrise, dance, sunset, dance—”
“She gets it,” Rowan interrupted.
“The same rule applies to drinking,” Ash said. He pushed the bottom of Callie’s glass back to her lips. “Drink up, gorgeous.”
