Unbeknownst to mortals, a power struggle is unfolding in a world of shadows and risk. After decades of stability, the total amount among the Faery Courts offers altered, and Irial, ruler of the Dark Court, is battling to hold his rebellious and recently vulnerable fey together. If he fails, bloodshed and brutality will observe.

Seventeen-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily gorgeous tattoo of eyes and wings, all she understands is that she has to have it, convinced it really is a tangible sign of changes she desperately craves for her own life.

Those adjustments will bind Leslie and Irial jointly, sketching Leslie deeper and deeper into the faery globe, unable to resist its allures, and helpless to withstand its perils . .
