Mayla Charles's an anxiety-ridden Lowblood with a pitiful amount of healing magic, living life as an afterthought in the modern city of Miradea. A place where Highbloods, with their more concentrated fae blood and superior magics are treasured. A place where Lowbloods like her, with their stronger human blood and weaker magics are mostly ignored. She spend her days processing insurance claims, avoiding crowds, and trying to forget how jealous she is that she wasn't born one of them. She has a cat, a slightly unhealthy Starbucks addiction, no romantic prospects whatsoever, and a grand total of three good friends.

But when one of those friends suddenly goes missing, Mayla is forced to set her anxiety aside and go looking for help. She finds herself thrown together with the stoic, ice-wielding Highblood leader of the Miradea Task Force, Anton Tevaris, and she has absolutely no idea why she's so incessantly drawn to him.

When Lowblood like her are suddenly targeted, and bizarre mythical creatures start wreaking havoc in their city, will Mayla discover her own immeasurable strength through her weakness? Will she finally face the side and all powerful feeling that she and the icy captain were somehow fated to find each other?

Join Mayla, Anton and a whole cast of eclectic characters as they work to save their city and fight a darkness stronger than any they could have ever imagined.

A darkness they'll come to realize, is deeply rooted within one of their own.
