A friendship tested across realms

Vanessa’s life is rooted in ordinary routines: a coffee shop in a beach town and a shared condo with her friend Audrey. An attack by otherworldly creatures breaks that pattern and reveals Audrey’s hidden connection to a magical realm. The ensuing journey through Hyvenmere places Vanessa, who has no magic of her own, amid creatures such as fae and nereids while Audrey pursues a prophecy aimed at peace between realms. Vanessa’s priority is personal—keeping her best friend safe—and the story’s central tension grows from the contrast between that loyalty and the dangers surrounding them, including a notorious siren whose presence complicates the journey.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers who enjoy contemporary fantasy involving magical realms and fantastical creatures.
  • Readers interested in stories centered on loyalty between close friends.
  • Readers who enjoy an ordinary protagonist navigating a supernatural conflict.

Book overview

Vanessa Wilson cherishes her quiet life running her coffee shop in a cozy beach town and sharing a condo with her somewhat absent best friend, Audrey. Things get complicated when Vanessa is attacked by otherworldly creatures, and Audrey shows up out of nowhere to save her.

All the secrets Audrey has been keeping from Vanessa over the years come to light, including the powers Audrey harnesses and the magical realm she discovered.

But Vanessa has no business in the magical realm; she's only human.

While Audrey is focused on fulfilling a prophecy and bringing peace between the realms, Vanessa will do anything to keep her best friend alive. This includes trekking through the mystical land of Hyvenmere, encountering creatures she's only read about.

Creatures like fae, nereids, and a seven-foot-tall murderous siren who seems to have one thing on his mind: Vanessa.

But men are the same no matter what realm they are from, and Vanessa has no desire to team up with someone who is known for leaving a trail of dead bodies in his wake.

Yet here she is, determined to protect the person she loves the most.

Can an ordinary woman with nothing but a death glare and supportive pats on the back keep her best friend safe? Or will she fall victim to Hyvenmere-and its most notorious killer?
