Perfect for you if...

  • You love urban fantasy with a New York City setting and want magic woven into familiar modern places.
  • You enjoy protagonists who stumble into their power rather than training for it, and you like watching them figure out the rules as they go.
  • You're drawn to character-driven stories where the romance and the magical stakes feel equally important.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer high fantasy worlds with their own geography and rules, not magic tucked into contemporary cities.
  • You want a standalone novel, not the first book of a trilogy that will leave threads hanging.
  • You're looking for fast-paced urban fantasy with constant action. This one builds its world deliberately.

About this book

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.
