Debutante by day. Murderess by night. Edinburgh’s only hope.
Edinburgh, 1844. Beautiful Aileana Kameron only looks the part of an aristocratic young lady. In fact, she’s spent the year since her mother died developing her ability to sense the presence of Sithichean, a faery race bent on slaughtering humans. She has a secret mission: to destroy the faery who murdered her mother. But when she learns she’s a Falconer, the last in a line of female warriors and the sole hope of preventing a powerful faery population from massacring all of humanity, her quest for revenge gets a whole lot more complicated. The first volume of a trilogy from an exciting new voice in young adult fantasy, this electrifying thriller blends romance and action with steampunk technology and Scottish lore in a deliciously addictive read.
"A combination of steampunk tech and supernatural danger with a multitalented heroine who can hold her own against murderous faeries and romantic foils alike."Publishers Weekly

“Forget Bella, banish Katniss and Expelliarmus Hermione-there is a new breed of ass-kicker in town. . . . Elizabeth May’s debut is a wicked cocktail of Jane Austen and the Grimms’ fairy tales.”—Claire Nicholls, SciFiNow

“Simply put, my favorite YA paranormal this year. A must read!"--New York Times Bestselling author —Jennifer L. Armentrout

"A riveting world, a fierce heroine, and electrifying action--I burned through this sparkling debut!"— Sarah J. Maas, New York Times bestselling author of the Throne of Glass series
