Have you ever felt like you were…different? Like you were on the verge of discovering some monumental secret about yourself, only to wake up and find out it was all just a dream? That’s how Maeve Sparrow feels, only it’s not a dream. Vampires, fae, and shapeshifters do in fact exist. Her boyfriend Caspian is a 240-year-old vampire, and his brothers and “father” are all vampires as well, and even older. She’s probably a vampire herself. Or, she’s SOMETHING, at least. Something not normal, and definitely not mortal. When she does learn the truth, it's far stranger than she could have imagined. She’s no ordinary girl. She’s not even an ordinary immortal. There are secrets waiting to be revealed—secrets that will change not just Maeve’s life and future, but everyone’s…mortals and immortals alike.

Maeve Sparrow is a prisoner. Deep in the bowels of The Immortal Tribunal’s secret headquarters inside a mountain in the Swiss Alps, she’s bound, without magic, and cut off from her bloodmate Caspian and her coven—Alistair, Phineas, and Stirling. Will they experiment on her? Simply execute her? Lock her up and throw away the key? She’s not willing to stick around and find out. With only her wits, courage, and nerve, she is determined to escape her cell and return to Caspian—and the cause she believes in more passionately than ever. She finds two allies in the most unlikely of the very wolf Shifter who brought her mage-cuffed and kicking to her mountain prison in the first place, and her grandfather, Elias Sparrow, the powerful fae male responsible for Maeve’s very existence. Along the way she discovers new depths to her abilities, a renewed determination to overthrow the Tribunal once and for all, and maybe even a whole different kind of bond with a certain tall, growly, sexy alpha wolf. Maeve Sparrow is no ordinary immortal, and with every passing day, it seems like the future of all immortals—and maybe human civilization itself—is bound to Maeve’s fate. She’s just not sure if she’s equal to the task. Good thing the men at her side believe in her, even when she doubts herself.

Maeve Sparrow is going to change the world. Or at least, that's what everyone tells her. That's what ancient fae prophecies say, also. Immortals look to her for hope and as an instigator of change. Is she up to the task? Can she change the way mortals and immortals treat each other? Can she help society rebuild now that governments have crumbled and war has broken out on the streets of New York and other cities around the world? All she can do is try. With the fate of the world in balance, Maeve has to use her wits, courage, and determination as much as she does her magic and supernatural abilities if she's going to fulfill the expectations placed on her young shoulders.
