Lee Capren's life is perfectly ordinary, thank you very much... right up until she's spirited away by faeries and forced to serve them as a portrait artist. She escapes with the help of Nasser, a human boy whose magic has always been more of a curse than a gift. But what felt like a night in Faerie spanned years in the human world, and Lee returns only to find that her old life is gone. Now living above a shop that caters to the city's beguiling magical crowd, Lee doesn't think her life can get more complicated. Then again, she never expected clashes with Filo, her prickly new roommate and unwilling magic tutor, her growing feelings for Nasser-or the cunning faerie bent on dragging her back to the world she just escaped.
