A Darkening Desire, Part One

Maya Reed’s ordinary life ends when her sister Lina is murdered in London under mysterious circumstances. Determined to discover who killed her, Maya travels overseas and quickly discovers that Lina had been caught up in a hidden supernatural world populated by the Fey—powerful beings who can disguise themselves as humans.

Maya possesses a rare ability to see through their illusions, making her both valuable and vulnerable. With the help of the dangerous and enigmatic Jace Bennett, she begins searching for the legendary Black Codex, an ancient Fey relic powerful enough to change the balance between humans, Light Fey, and the terrifying Shadow Fey.

As Maya follows Lina’s clues, she uncovers increasingly disturbing secrets about her sister’s life, her own mysterious abilities, and the forces fighting to obtain the Codex. What begins as a search for a murderer becomes a fight to prevent an army of Shadow Fey from being unleashed upon the human world—and Maya may be one of the few people capable of stopping them.
