Everything is perfect. Perhaps too perfect. So when the Avallon is called upon to help the war effort - to oust its guests and host three hundred diplomats and Nazi sympathisers - June''s priority is business as usual. But as dark alliances and unexpected attractions crack the polished veneer of the hotel, she is forced to reckon with the true price of luxury.

Quando un misterioso e affascinante ragazzo sbucato dal nulla entra nella sua ordinaria vita di città, Deirdre se ne innamora all’istante. Il problema è che l’enigmatico e contraddittorio Luke si rivela un ‘gallowglass’ – un assassino senz’anima – e Deirdre, che nel frattempo capisce di essere una ‘cloverhand’, ossia una che può vedere le Fate, potrebbe essere la sua prossima vittima. Deirdre deve decidere se i sentimenti di Luke verso di lei sono veri, o se sono soltanto un modo per ingannarla e condurla più profondamente nel mondo delle Fate dove lui potrebbe tornare a uccidere. L’amore per Luke la costringerà presto a prendere coscienza dei propri poteri magici, ad approfondire le amicizie e gli affetti familiari, a cambiare il proprio sistema di relazioni e a farsi coinvolgere in una lotta all’ultimo respiro contro esseri che non avrebbe mai pensato di affrontare.
