THE YEAR is 1877. When Talia Rose steps into a fairy ring as a child, her mother, Tate Rose, an outcast witch, signs a deal with a dark fae to delay Talia's inevitable surrender until her eighteenth birthday. A deal that will allow Talia to be taken into a 100-year sleep spell and imprisonment in the fairy realm. But as the eighteenth year draws closer, more and more settlements and wagon trains begin mysteriously disappearing, leaving Tate to wonder if her daughter's impending abduction is only one in dozens that could be linked to the wild Desert Folk. But why? Set against the bloody and brutal background of the American West, this gritty, pulp western retelling of the multi-cultural fairytale best known as "Sleeping Beauty" or "Briar Rose," is as twisted and dark as the origins deserve.

Part of Ostanes's mind is trapped in those memories, and without them he's lost and confused. And the more time passes, the worse his condition becomes. Hoping to reverse the effect of dark potions on the body, someone is looking for the recipe for aqua vitae-an elixir that can cure any illness-lost in the pages of an old Kemi family diary. But aqua vitae could also be the key to bringing her grandfather back, and that's all Sam really wants. Determined to find Ostanes's memories and the recipe first, Sam finds herself on the most important and perilous Hunt of her life.
