What if everything you knew about yourself was a carefully crafted illusion?

Contortionist Arisa Locke creates illusions for a living, but doesn’t believe in real magic—until a wraith-like killer begins terrorizing Victorian Brimcliffe. When a corpse appears behind her theater, she’s thrust into a centuries-old supernatural war she never knew existed.

Suddenly, Arisa finds herself caught between two dangerously compelling men: Keir McGregor, an aristocratic alchemist who wants her hidden powers, and Drystan Falcrest, a mesmerizing professor who wants her destiny. 

As rival secret societies close in and bodies pile up, Arisa discovers the shocking truth—her fae blood makes her the key to an ancient artifact that could determine who rules the supernatural world.

With the celestial conjunction approaching and her friends’ lives hanging in the balance, Arisa must choose sides in a deadly conflict and discover whether she’ll be Brimcliffe’s salvationor the instrument of its destruction.

The greatest deception isn’t on stage. It’s in her blood.
