Strings

Need help? You probably shouldn't ask Grey.

He's the one who got away, a Fey prince in the human world—which means he no longer receives life-sustaining magic from the Throne, and has to weave his own from ordinary people. Fortunately, he's good at performing, and Manhattan loves a skilled busker. Unfortunately, performing means being seen.

Shadow-Eaters—monsters to scare Fey children—turn out to be very real, very hungry, and very fixated on him. Grey has no desire to be reduced to ash and replaced with a smiling copy. He also has no desire to be a hero, but saving himself will mean engaging in his least favorite activity: helping other people. This is no way for a proudly self-exiled Fey prince to live…

From bestselling author Ruthanne Reid, STRINGS is the second book in the series Among the Mythos, and is a quick, twisted tale of dark humor, confused identity, and the magic of found family.

Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher and Ursula K. LeGuin.

"It reads fast and pleasantly. And it's not just that – it is also a truly touching, even heart-breaking story." —Evelina Avalinah's Books
