About the book
When jewelry designer Garet James stumbles into a strange antiques shop in New York City, her life takes a sudden turn. The enigmatic shopkeeper, John Dee, offers her a hefty sum to open a vintage silver box adorned with a swan symbol matching a ring from her late mother. As she opens the box, strange things start happening...
That night, the silver box is stolen, leading Garet on a quest to uncover a centuries-old prophecy that links her to an ancient evil now unleashed on the world. With each revelation, Garet discovers her true identity, a legacy of women in her family who suffered at the hands of this malevolent force. Can she harness her power to stop it?
Along the way, Garet encounters the hidden fey folk and a captivating vampire who challenges her trust. As the fairies plot their dominance over humanity and the vampire threatens her very existence, Garet must rely on her wits and new abilities to combat the encroaching darkness that threatens her loved ones and the world at large.
