I survived my curse. Barely. I'm still finding my footing as a druid apprentice when the fae courts stop watching and start circling. Someone powerful has taken an interest in me. And apparently, there’s a price on my head. An assassin is moving through the supernatural underground, and every whisper points back to the same target: me. Colin says hazards like these come with the job. Agent Lucas Caruso calls it an imminent threat. I call it a problem I don't have time to deal with.

As a rookie cop and the goofball brother, no one expected me to be the one Mother Nature chose to safeguard the mythological Hidden City of Isilon, but after being thrown into a river of raw prana, I was forever changed. Not my whacked sense of humor—Hells no, that is firmly intact—but me. Something is building inside me, and I don’t want to freak out my family, but it’s big. Powers? Magical potential?
