“What if,” asked the raven, “all those old faerie stories weren’t really about being good and honest and obeying your mum and dad? What if they were a warning, telling you about *real* dangers, licking their lips just beyond the firelight?” Miriam Lockhart never believed in faeries—until they killed her. Now trapped in the faerie realm as a wandering spirit (and none too happy about it), Miriam must discover her unfinished business or remain a ghost forever. Her only guide is a Death Raven named Lucky I-Ain’t-You, whose record of escorting souls to the Great Beyond stands at, well, zero. Fates intertwined, the duo enters the realm of the Family LeFae, a riffraff band of faerie criminals locked in a brutal struggle against an oppressive monarchy. There, she faces down a cast of misfits including a foul-mouthed goblin, a sasquatch assassin, and the mysterious Faerie Godfather. It’s only when Miriam sees her own misfortune mirrored in others that her heart undergoes an even bigger transformation. A dangerous deal is struck with Death incarnate to try and break the chains of the enslaved faerie folk. But it may cost Miriam the one thing she set out to save: her soul.\ \ Dark humor meets genuine heart in this funny, haunting fantasy.
