To stop a killer, bartender and Gate Keeper Siobhan sacrificed herself to the Gate between the human and Fairy realms, only to emerge with a powerful magic she can't control. Now it seems everyone wants a piece of her. To the Summer Court, she's a challenger. To the Winter Court, she's a threat. And to the Fair Folk, a growing political movement of solitary fae, she's a potential savior.

When several members of the Winter royal families are killed, all signs point to the Fair Folk trying to start a revolution against the Courts, setting Siobhan up as their new Queen. That's news to her, as she wants nothing to do with the political fights of the fae. Still, several Winter Courts name her enemy number one and threaten the Greenwood Knoll as a hub for political unrest.

Siobhan may not be able to control her new magic, but she'll have to master it as she travels across through the Gate to Fairy to defend herself and her community. Solitary by nature, she will be forced to call on every connection she has, from her sister Bryony who is poised to take the Atlanta Summer throne, to Thierry Kellan, the powerful solitary fae who seems to be everywhere he's not wanted.

She has already shown she'll sacrifice herself to save her found family. But when the smoke clears in Atlanta, will Siobhan know who to trust?
