They say if you have a little faerie blood, you've been Touched. Some might have a Touch of water, a Touch of healing, or a Touch of animal speaking. Aoife, whose grandmother was a full-blooded fae and whose sisters were blessed with perfectly useful and harmless Touches, involuntarily drains the life from anything and anyone that veers too close to her.

After a chance meeting gone incredibly wrong, Aoife accepts a bargain that may be her last hope: If she helps the Grand Enchanter with his experiments, he will teach her to control her magic. She isn't quite willing to bet everything on the mysterious man who never shows his face, but it's the only option she has left.

In this Beauty and the Beast inspired tale, follow Aoife's journey as she learns that even the worst of curses are sometimes unknown blessings in disguise.

For the fae, magic is everything: status, power, wealth, honor. For Vera Reite, a fae born with no magic, it is a shameful reminder that she will never amount to anything. Whispers of a fae-killing monster begin to circulate the Moon Court. It lurks in the woods, feeding off the mana of its victims. Those that go missing and find themselves at the mercy of the beast are never seen or heard from again. Fear quickly takes hold of the fae court; it's only a matter of time before their whole world is destroyed by this creature. However, it offers Vera a glimmer of hope. When she learns of it, she ventures into the wood to kill the beast, believing that she will be able to absorb the magic it has stolen. But the woods are as dangerous as the beast, and Vera soon finds herself lost. In a stroke of luck, she comes across an old manor deep in the forest where a strange boy is sealed away. If Vera wishes to slay the beast, she will first have to uncover the secret of the manor and its prisoner before it's too late. 𝐀 𝐟𝐚𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜, 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭.
