Book description
Welcome to the realm of very scary faeries!
Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she
travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous
attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the
industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself
an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival
faerie kingdoms -- a struggle that could very well mean her death.
Kirkus Reviews, starred review Debauchery,
despair, deceit, and grisly death -- what more could you ask for from
a fairy tale?...A luscious treat for fans of urban fantasy and
romantic horror.
