After a long day at the Renaissance Faire, Annalise wants nothing more than tea, silence, and her small-town life back in order.
Instead, she finds a bleeding woman with pointed ears collapsed in her garden.
Ash claims she’s being hunted. She’s beautiful, evasive—and very clearly not human. Annalise should call the police. She should lock her doors. She should walk away.
But when strangers begin asking questions and something unnatural starts circling her home, offering shelter stops being an act of kindness and becomes a risk.
Because Ash isn’t just hiding from just anyone.
She’s hiding from a fae court assassin.
And they’ve already found her.
