“An island all alone at the edge of the silver sea. In a place like this, anything could happen…”
Forced to move to the remote island of Roscoe, Blair Zielinski is determined to get back to her old life. Then one of the island’s darkly magical fey folk offers her an irresistible deal.
As she unravels the island’s secrets and makes new friends, both human and otherworldly, Blair discovers that a promise to the fey cannot be broken. Can Blair save the wild isle that she’s come to call home?
