All her life, tenderhearted Ada Caldwell has satisfied the expectations set by her family and society, taking comfort in the predictability of their strictures. But the moment she decided to unravel the working that bound her fae blood, every hope of an ordinary, peaceful future vanished. Hated for her heritage by unwilling allies and targeted by an unknown stalker whose unnatural melodies fill her ears, Ada now faces danger on all sides. She constrains her abilities for fear of what she’s becoming and what harm she could cause to those she loves. But when Other closes in, she won’t be able to keep hiding her true nature—not if she wants to survive. This novelette takes place concurrently with Mirror of Argent, book four in the Blood of the Fae series. While a self-contained story, it contains spoilers for Mirror of Argent and assumes prior knowledge of series events.
