In this dark fantasy romance, a powerful young woman must face the destructive truths of a forgotten past if her kingdom has any hope of a future.

t’s 1921 in Camelot City, and nineteen-year-old Birdie Smith doesn’t exist in the empire’s glassfeeds. Not that she minds. Birdie’s one of the few Malevolent desperate enough to manifest — a crime punishable by death in the seven United Kingdoms.

According to the king regent, only the mindless automata should cast magic. Thankfully, a simple song is all Birdie needs to pick from the empire’s deep pockets for the only crime lord in Camelot willing to hire a witch like her. At least until she’s betrayed, arrested, and her best friend abducted by Mordred — a handsome traitor with ties to a life Birdie hopes never to remember. The nightmares were more than enough.

But to save her freedom and her friend, Birdie will have to help a fallen knight, Sir Gawain, and journey to the hidden otherworld of Avalon. Her home, apparently, where a shattered sword calls out a song that only she can hear and, with it, save a missing king before Mordred can enslave them all.

Ensnared in a world where machines control magic, dark secrets abound, and forbidden romances await, Birdie is unsure whom she should trust, even her own heart.
