Melissa Marr returns to faery in a dramatic story of the
precarious space between two worlds—and the people who must
thrive there. The combination of ethereal fae powers,
tumultuous romance, and a bloodthirsty faery queen will have
longtime fans and new readers alike at the edge of their seats.
Lilywhite Abernathy is a criminal—she's half human, half
fae, and since the time before she was born her very blood
has been illegal. A war has been raging between humans and
faeries, and the Queen of Blood and Rage, ruler of the fae
courts, wants to avenge the tragic death of her heir due to
the actions of reckless humans.
Lily's father has always shielded her from the truth, but
when she's sent to the prestigious St. Columba's school,
she's delivered straight into the arms of a fae Sleeper
cell—the Black Diamonds. The Diamonds are planted in the
human world as the sons and daughters of the most
influential families, and tasked with destroying it from
within. Against her will, Lilywhite's been chosen to join
them . . . and even the romantic attention of the fae rock
singer Creed Morrison isn't enough to keep Lily from wanting
to run back to the familiar world she knows.
