In the glittering backstreets of New York City, old scars and secrets give birth to magical calamities. 

Beyond the limits of our knowledge, there is a world hidden deep within the roots of modern society. There walks a people older than mankind, unseen but ever present, whose lineage trace back to the creation of the ether - an energy source that grants them the power to do extraordinary things. 

They are called the venandi.

Hazel Labelle is an avid boxer and a pioneer, and she has not lived in one place for more than six months until reaching New York. For four years, she has led relatively normal life with her father, and has finally started calling the city her home. When Hazel is attacked by a mysterious man in a mask during a rebellious one night road trip with her friend, she is unwillingly pulled into the twisted dark world of the venandi. She does not expect however, to discover that her history has long been entwined with the magical folk, and that the peaceful world she had known had been an illusion spun on a past she could not stop running from.

The realm of the fairy's, a world alien to mortals, filled with beings of legends and folklore. It is a land only a hairs breadth away from earth, yet completely unreachable. It is a word of strange and seemingly inconsistent rules, governed by magic and its unpredictable nature. Fairies of all types reside in this world, each specializing in different magic, ranging from the most basic elemental magic, to shape shifting, and even traveling between worlds. Within this world is a forest so deep and dark, it is named Forest of the Eternal Night. It is home to dangerous beasts and monsters of myth, yet within the deepest darkest reaches live the beautiful Night Fae: Talented tailors, dream weavers, and master artisans. Each bears a different color moonstone embedded in their chest, which supplies their powerful magic. Along side each Night Fae exists a spider familiar, a creature whom converts dream energy into the finest silk imaginable. They lead extremely private lives, but one day a young woman dares to leave the confines of her forest home to see the world beyond. What will await her?
