A dragon, a fae, and a pixie walk into a bookstore… Sounds like a joke, right? For me, it's just an ordinary day on the job. At least, it has been ever since my aunt disappeared and left me with her store, her cat, and a whole lot of unanswered questions. My whole life, I've been told to stay hidden. Pretend I'm human. Sell books, drink tea, and never betray the truth of what I am. But it turns out my aunt had secrets, and a lot of those secrets seem to involve me ending up dead. To survive, I'm going to have to reckon with my past, even if it means placing my trust in a total stranger.

Everleigh Clarkson is half-elf and half-fae, and it shows. Then again, it isn't for most supernatural half-breeds. But that's okay. Who needs magic when you live in a city as exciting as Las Vegas? Magic, however, seems to have other plans. Not only have Everleigh's parents gone missing, but a secret group of vigilante supernaturals is threatening all of Las Vegas–and they want to use Everleigh to do it. Because Everleigh isn't some magically stunted half-breed after all, it turns out. Everleigh is a wizard. But saving her parents will require more than embracing the magic she once rejected.
