Librarian Cassie Lewis finds her world turned upside down when she agrees to testify against her former shady landlord and he puts a hit on her in revenge. Tarian Brangwen, a Fae, no longer wishes to be Queen Mab's Champion and, in anger, the queen has exiled her from Faerie.
Cassie flees west into the mist-shrouded borderlands that lie between England and Wales and finds a safe haven in the sleepy hillside village of Bourn's Edge. There she meets Tarian, who makes a living painting fanciful landscapes and lives on the edge of Bourn Forest, enjoying her new life.
Their worlds come together as both their pasts catch up to them. They have to fight both earthly and magical forces before they can settle into a life together in Bourn's Edge.
