Thirty years ago, the world ruptured, unleashing molten power that killed millions of fae and gifted a rare few—the Core fae—with magic. But something else slipped through the cracks: Banes, monstrous beings intent on overrunning the world. After five brutal years, the Banes were banished, leaving behind nine devastating plagues. . . and their children, the Fiends. Esti, a Fiend and lifelong outcast of Hamelyn, has survived by staying unnoticed. But when a new plague descends, everything changes. The Core fae alone can cleanse the land, and the Piper, Lord Varrik, agrees to lift Hamelyn’s rat plague—for a price: one hundred and thirty people, including Esti. Taken from her home, Esti finds herself trapped with the brooding Lord Varrik. But as animosity sparks into attraction, she must decide whether to trust him, embrace her power and help end the plagues for good.

Raven Kennedy is a tea and dark chocolate kind of girl and can often be found binge-watching The Office or The Great British Baking Show. She enjoys writing all kinds of books, because each one brings a different experience. Whatever the genre, she hopes she creates characters you can root for. When she’s not reading or writing, she’s with her family, probably messing up a recipe or going on a hike that she thinks she can do, but in reality she can't because she remembers that all she does is sit at a computer all day and write her heart out. You can connect with her on Facebook in Raven Kennedy's Reader Group, as well as @ravenkennedybooks on Instagram.
