A broken world you won’t forget. A smart, gripping story you won’t be able to put down. Winner of the 2017 Independent Press Award.

“…a thrilling and intelligent contribution to the genre, as fierce as the main character for whom the novel is named.” – Nebula Award nominee Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam.

Soledad Paz is a slave, sold to a ruthless rebel leader by marauders who raided her home and murdered her parents. With her remarkable ability to see through any deception, she’s become an invaluable–and unwilling–secret weapon in the war to control the Republic.

When a ghost from her former life unexpectedly appears, everything she thought she knew about her past shatters into oblivion and she resolves to find the truth…by any means necessary.

But in the dark republic, the truth is never simple…and it’s never what you expect.

My name is Melanie Sinclair, and as far as anyone knows, I’ve been dead since the day I was born.

More than twenty years ago, I was smuggled into Ireland to be raised where the magical community would never find me. Two decades of hiding. Two decades of pretending to be less than I am, blending in with the lesser magicks–those whose abilities are of little interest to those in power.

My true fate may not remain a secret much longer.

Humanity is getting too close to learning about a world they may not be ready to handle. In order to fight the growing threat of exposure, the supernatural world will be hosting a summit in Galway, in my city, bringing all of the people my family died to protect me from right to my doorstep.

So much for the luck of the Irish.
