Liora Bannon thought she knew who she was and the life her mother built for them—a simple life hidden from the shadows of her past. But on her eighteenth birthday, everything unravels. Her mother vanishes, leaving only a cryptic letter and the devastating truth: Liora's heritage is a lie, and her mother is no ordinary woman. She is the Lost Queen of Midnight, a powerful fae who can open portals to the other realms, bound in a twisted bargain with Erebus, the Dark God, and held captive in the Midnight Vale, where death and magic intertwine. Now, Liora must harness the powers she never knew she possessed to cross into the Midnight Vale, the wasteland forged by an ancient fae-vampire war. Alongside reluctant allies, including a dangerously charming vampire slayer who may have motives of his own, Faeryn faces a realm of betrayal, magic, and treacherous beauty. As the shadows close in, Liora is forced to confront her own dual nature—half-fae, half-vampire—and the dark legacy that could either save or doom them all. Will she have the strength to release her mother from her chains, or will the Vale claim her as its next prisoner?
