Trust is scarce. Betrayal is everywhere.
Reece O’Dell has spent her life hunting what hides in the shadows. Monsters don’t scare her. People do.
And children? Even worse.
But when her latest assignment pairs her with a cocky new partner and a changeling child on the run, Reece finds herself in unfamiliar territory. The girl, Maelie, is more than just a job. She’s a target.
As enemies close in from all sides — ruthless agencies, corrupted allies, and something darker no one’s willing to name — Reece must confront the truth: protecting Maelie may be the key to stopping a war between the magical and mortal worlds.
Trust is scarce. Betrayal is everywhere. And if Reece fails, it won’t just cost her the mission.
It’ll cost her everything.
So… kid-sitting a little monster it is.
