The city came to life when the first colonists washed up on the beach hundreds of years ago and called themselves a community. But something in it is sickening, and the few who can see it are also in the middle of it. Randi Teller, the human woman who can't find her way out of other people's fights. Cheryl Greene, balancing her duties as an Assistant District Attorney with her duties to her fae lord. An ailing city and conspiracies of cabals, tempers fraying and teeth on edge, and a handful of ordinary people drowning in their own lives who never expected to be on the front lines of this war.
