Rian Eberna feels stuck in her tiny town. Everything is predictable. Her routine never changes, her boyfriend thinks only of sports, and her best friend only wants to party. Lather, rinse, repeat. She understands her fascination with the Ascendant Fae is dangerous-just like the Fae themselves-but she just can't help but absorb everything she's told or shown about them. Blurry photos and videos and the exaggerated or fake tales of their heroics every time the demons invade through the rips deep within the Earth are her only escape from the monotony. Until Gabe moves to town the summer before her senior year. He's exciting, bold, infuriatingly beautiful, and everything she doesn't think she deserves. Her life of routine is thrown out the nearest window, and the monotony quickly turns into snap decisions and delicious spontaneity. Halfway through the school year, when things are finally starting to settle again, sirens scream in the middle of the night, signaling the return of the demons for the first time in eighteen years. Rian's town is thrown into chaos, violence, and terror and when the Fae finally come to rescue them, she will question far more than her own bravery as lies and mysteries tangle around her and Gabe.
