A young human journalist finds herself alone in a Fae city and cursed to only repeat the words given to her. As her chances at a career, life, and even love swiftly dwindle, her only prospect of breaking the curse involves the impossible task. She must lure a monster to its death—the same monster that turns people to stone, terrorizing fae, humans, and magical creatures alike with mysterious magic. But the monster may be very different from the myths it was named after, and the girl's curse might not be so simply broken. Inspired by the Greek myths of Medusa and Echo, this novella combines urban fantasy, romance, and myth to explore themes of good and evil.
