Overview
In the glittering city of Port Astor, where fae roads criss-cross human highways and ghosts whisper to the living, nothing is ever as it seems.
From Sunburst Award-winning author A. C. Wise, this utterly original dark fantasy tale of faith and fanaticism, doomed love and desperate bargains is perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Ava Reid.
Port Astor is a city of ghosts. Once home to the beautiful, brutal courts of the fae, forty years ago they vanished without explanation - and Port Astor decided to forget. But echoes of the fae still linger.
Brix and Bellefeather are paranormal investigators, working to keep Port Astor's ghosts from consuming its citizens. Both have hauntings of their own: Belle shares her body with a demon, Belezial, while Brix has trapped the soul of his dead fiancée in the world of the living, unwilling to let her go.
While investigating a haunting at the glamorous Peony Hotel, the pair comes across a young couple tangled up in one of the city’s most infamous stories - Jimmy Valentine, idol of the silver screen and supposed favorite of a fae queen, has returned to haunt the Peony. But Jimmy is no mere ghost, and Brix and Belle soon realize his return is more intimately tied to their own hauntings than they could ever have imagined.
The fae have not forgotten that Port Astor once belonged to them. And their Hollow Queen won’t give up her kingdom so easily.
