Young fae girls are disappearing.
Layla has never belonged to the fairy realm - at least, half of her hasn't. She's never known anyone with human blood, not even her father. When she was three, the dragon Fauth attacked the fairy festival, murdering her fae mum & stepfather. Frankly, some fairies think she should've been eaten too.
As she grew, despite being called names like "fuman" for being a half-blood, she's discovered that being half-human isn't terrible. She may lack magic, but she is immune to iron sickness, and she can wield a sword with elven skill.
Magic in the human world is disastrous.
Sixteen years later, when Layla's half-sister is kidnapped and taken through a portal to the forbidden human realm, Layla rushes to the rescue. She's older and stronger, and she's not about to let her last living family member be taken from her without a fight.
Only someone who belongs to both worlds can find the truth.
The portal spits her out in the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, but neither her sister or the kidnapper are anywhere to be found. Stuck in a world she only knows from school books, Layla forges unlikely alliances to find her sister. As she becomes tangled in the dark world of fairy trafficking, magic harvesting, and murder, Layla will have to find the strength within if she is to survive and save her sister.
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
