A translator at a law firm. A wolf the size of a small horse. And the creatures perched on her colleagues' shoulders that only she can see.

Adi Gutseel buried her gift at age seven — after the therapy, the medication, and the diagnosis that nearly broke her family. Now, fifteen years later, the spirit animals are back. They watch her from every desk, every meeting room, every corridor. And this time, they're hunting her.

Honi Fisher, a Mekui'te spirit-walker with a giant black wolf at his side, was sent to observe Adi from a distance. He was told not to interfere. He lasted a week.

But training Adi means getting close — and the closer Honi gets, the harder it becomes to pretend this is just duty. Adi doesn't trust easily, especially not a man whose gentle hands and forest-after-rain scent make her forget she's supposed to be terrified.

The problem: Adi's untrained power has fractured the boundary between the human and spirit worlds. An ancient faerie queen with a thousand names wants her dead. The spirit attacks are escalating from shadows to daylight. And the bond pulling Adi and Honi together might be the very thing that destroys them both.
