Found abandoned in the woods as a baby, Cate Donovan grows up in a Chicago home for children. Cursed with unnatural beauty, she tries to hide her appearance beneath baggy clothes and stoic expressions. She dreams of turning eighteen and leaving the city for a quiet life somewhere she will be left alone.
One night Cate is attacked, and an unexplained phenomenon saves her and puts her attacker in the hospital. Cate becomes the center of media attention and flees the city, desperate to put distance between her past and her future, and ends up on the East coast. But strange things start happening, threatening the quiet life she is trying to build.
When a mysterious local woman shows up on Cate's doorstep, claiming she can help by using magic, Cate is skeptical. But she soon sees that the woman is telling the truth, and that there is an entire realm of magic hidden within the human world. A realm that not only holds the answers to what's happening, but the truth about Cate and where she really came from.
Between the forests of Maine and the cliffs of Ireland, Cate is introduced to a realm of magical creatures from warlocks to mermaids. She searches for answers regarding her magic and her past -- while trying to keep them both from killing her.
