\n<\/strong>
\nThe year is 1 AWC\u2014After the Wall Crash. The Fae are free and hunting us. It\u2019s a war zone out there, and no two days are alike. I\u2019m Dani O\u2019Malley, the chaos-filled streets of Dublin are my home, and there\u2019s no place I\u2019d rather be.\u00a0<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nDani \u201cMega\u201d O\u2019Malley plays by her own set of rules\u2014and in a world overrun by Dark Fae, her biggest rule is: Do what it takes to survive. Possessing rare talents and the all-powerful Sword of Light, Dani is more than equipped for the task. In fact, she\u2019s one of the rare humans who can defend themselves against the Unseelie. But now, amid the pandemonium, her greatest gifts have turned into serious liabilities.<\/p>\nDani\u2019s ex\u2013best friend, MacKayla Lane, wants her dead, the terrifying Unseelie princes have put a price on her head, and Inspector Jayne, the head of the police force, is after her sword and will stop at nothing to get it. What\u2019s more, people are being mysteriously frozen to death all over the city, encased on the spot in sub-zero, icy tableaux.<\/p>\n
When Dublin\u2019s most seductive nightclub gets blanketed in hoarfrost, Dani finds herself at the mercy of Ryodan, the club\u2019s ruthless, immortal owner. He needs her quick wit and exceptional skill to figure out what\u2019s freezing Fae and humans dead in their tracks\u2014and Ryodan will do anything to ensure her compliance.<\/p>\n
Dodging bullets, fangs, and fists, Dani must strike treacherous bargains and make desperate alliances to save her beloved Dublin\u2014before everything and everyone in it gets iced.<\/p>\n
