Flora Leblanc has survived the French Quarter on instinct and stubbornness for as long as she can remember. She knows the city, knows its rules, knows which alleys to skip after dark. She’s good at invisible.

Then a black cat steals her dinner and she’s hungry enough to chase it.

It leads her straight to a door she’s never noticed before, and a seer who’s been looking for her a long time. What happens next turns everything Flora thought she knew about herself inside out. She wakes up with fire in her hands, answers she never expected, and a target on her back she didn’t put there.

Now she’s tangled up in a world of Guardians, Fae politics, and something dark running underneath the city that nobody wants to talk about too loudly. And she’s doing all of it alongside an ice Fae she didn’t choose, who feels everything she feels whether either of them likes it or not.

The deeper she digs, the worse it gets. The worse it gets, the less she can walk away.

She’s not ready for any of this. The city doesn’t care.

If you like your urban fantasy with teeth, your romance slow-burn and hard-won, and your found family messy and complicated, this one’s for you.
