Black Swan Rising (Black Swan Rising, 1)

A New York City jewelry designer named Garet James discovers a magical world hidden within Manhattan when she enters a mysterious antiques shop. The enigmatic shopkeeper, John Dee, offers her money to open a vintage silver box marked with a swan symbol—the same symbol as a ring her deceased mother gave her. Opening the box unleashes an evil force onto the city's streets. Garet learns she has been drawn into a centuries-old prophecy and uncovers her true identity, one her mother had tried to shield her from. Generations of women in her family have suffered and died fighting this same evil. As Garet investigates, she encounters fey folk living unnoticed among humans and a vampire who works as a hedge fund manager. She must determine whom to trust while discovering her own powers. The fairies seek to dominate humans, and the vampire can drain life from her body. Using her newfound abilities and intelligence, Garet works to stop the evil threatening her loved ones, New York City, and the world.
