Hunt the fae. Cage the monsters. Guard the prison.
In Edinburgh, a secret war rages between humans and fae, and the magic in Aileana Kameron's blood is all that keeps the most lethal monsters imprisoned beneath the city.
But when the creatures she once pursued now hunt her, Aileana has no choice but to ally with Kiaran MacKay - the beautiful fae assassin with his own agenda.
The chemistry between them is as incendiary as the battles raging through the streets. And as the body count climbs, Aileana faces a choice: how much is she willing to sacrifice to save her city? Her friends? Herself?
Because the fae won't stop until their kin are freed - and she's the only thing standing in their way.
Set in Victorian-era Scotland and filled to the brim with fae, this historical romantasy adventure will sweep you away.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this debut novel, first in a trilogy, May brings to life a steampunk version of Victorian Scotland beset by vicious faeries. Young aristocratic Aileana Kameron has been training to hunt and kill these faeries for the past year, each one she hopes bringing her closer to the baobhan s th that eviscerated her mother. She soon discovers that her bloodlust is no accident: she's a Falconer, last in a legendary line of faerie hunters. With the most powerful faeries about to break loose from their prison, Aileana has only six days to learn to control her powers. There's palpable sexual tension between Aileana and her faerie mentor, Kiaran; unfortunately he falls prey to many familiar tropes (he's a semi-reformed killer who refuses to discuss his past, especially the loss of a past love very much like Aileana). Even so, fans of Gail Carriger's work in particular should enjoy the combination of steampunk tech and supernatural danger with a multitalented heroine who can hold her against murderous faeries and romantic foils alike. Ages 14 up.
