About the series

In the city of Burgue, humans live alongside fae, fauns, and other mythical creatures who have fled their war-torn homelands. As tensions between humans and fae grow, detective Rycroft Philostrate investigates a series of brutal murders targeting supernatural creatures. His investigation brings him back into the life of Vignette Stonemoss, a fae from his past. As more secrets emerge, their personal history becomes intertwined with a dangerous conspiracy threatening to destabilize the already divided city.
