Born to lie. Trained to spy. Half-fae shapershifter Jess is determined to follow in her spymaster mother's footsteps, and a successful field mission will secure her dreams-if only her strict teachers will allow her the chance. An unexpected opportunity provides exactly what she's looking for: a high-stakes rescue mission to prevent a war in the Realm that will also give her a final shot at redemption after the catastrophe of her last mission. But things get complicated when Jess learns the identities of her teammates: an enigmatic sibling she's never met and Penn, the annoying fairy who tormented her as a kid.
Jess hasn't spoken more than a few words to him in seven years, but now they must work together if they want any chance at preventing the impending war. As the first phase of their mission takes an unexpected turn, Jess is forced to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about the fae and their world. Her team is closing in on the truth, but Jess's own secrets could unravel their delicate trust first.
To save the future, Jess will have to do the one thing that scares her most: confront her past.
