About this ebook

Fleeing her fate was the easy part...

One year ago, Lady Imaranta of High Vale escaped Conota—the so-called Gray Lands—and joined her human mother in the mortal realm. Living in a small Oklahoma town as Hope Lozano, keeping her true appearance masked by magic, she’s tried to blend in and make a life for herself as she adjusts to her freedom. But the locals still regard her with suspicion, she knows precious little about her new home, and then there’s the tiny matter of the dead to consider. Cynaeli are natural mediums, and Hope, who’s particularly gifted, has to contend with a constant stream of requests from the departed. Still, even if Hope’s path forward isn’t entirely clear, she thinks she has matters under control.

That is, until Arik shows up.

Another highborn cynaeli in Oklahoma would be dangerous enough, but Arik is wounded and weakening...and he carries an ominous message. Back in Conota, no one has yet stepped forward to claim the late queen’s throne, and the rival factions are massing their armies. Worse still, Arik’s father fears that another of his sons might be the missing monarch—a son who, like Hope, fled Conota. Now, an insatiable force is loose in the mortal realm, hunting him down, and no one in its path is safe.

If Hope and Arik want to save Arik’s brother from a bloody end, they’ll need to go on the run—and with lives and a throne in the balance, they’ll need help from the living and the dead.

Author

Ash Fitzsimmons

Ash has always loved a good story. Her childhood bookshelves overflowed, and she refused to take notes in her copies of classroom novels because that felt like sacrilege. She wrote her first novel the summer after her freshman year of college and never looked back. (Granted, that novel was an unpublishable 270,000-word behemoth, but everyone has to start somewhere, right?)After obtaining degrees in English and creative writing and taking a stab at magazine work, Ash decided to put her skillset to different use and went to law school. She then moved home to Alabama, where she works as an attorney. These days, Ash can be found outside of Montgomery with her inordinately fluffy Siberian husky, who loves long walks, car rides, and whatever Ash happens to be eating.
