Grief and danger in a submerged faery realm

After her father’s death and the loss of her friends’ support, Nola is focused on protecting Lumi, a faery changeling she loves. When Lumi is abducted, the search leads Nola into a faery realm beneath a lake, where strange beings and the threat to changelings shape the rescue attempt. The fantasy’s central conflict links that perilous journey with Nola’s effort to face her grief rather than keep it hidden. Its imagery—including eyeless horses, ghost-bees and dancing skeletons—sets the realm apart from the human world Nola leaves behind.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in contemporary fantasy with faery folklore.
  • Readers seeking a fantasy plot intertwined with grief and a love story.
  • Readers drawn to surreal, otherworldly creatures and settings.

Nola James can handle it. She can handle that her father is dead. She can handle that her friends, bored with her grief, left her behind. Nola James can handle it because she has to. Lumi--the love of her life and a faery changeling--is in danger. Not only is Lumi's human mother trying to kill her, but she's being hunted by veiled monsters that want to return her to the fae. Hiding out together in an abandoned cabin with only a skeleton rabbit for company is miserable, but Nola can handle that too. And she does.

Until Lumi is abducted.

In order to save her, Nola must enter the faery realm: a world at the bottom of a lake in which eyeless horses parade as brides, ghost-bees produce transformative honey, and skeletons dance in skin-colored cloaks. Aided by a witch-girl with uncertain motives, Nola uncovers the realm's terrifying power over changelings. Unless Nola can outplay an abyssal faery queen and find the courage to let the world see her own pain, Lumi will be trapped in faeryland forever.
