PROLOGUE A QUICK AND DIRTY RECAP OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR! When Miri was fifteen, her mom sent her away in the middle of the night with a stranger. Davis drove her halfway across the country and left her behind. Miri never heard from her mom again. Ten years later, Miri inherits the family home on Wild Haven Island and moves there to learn about her mom’s past. Imagine her surprise when she runs into Davis, who also lives on the island. He’s less than happy to see her. Miri’s mom risked everything to keep Miri safe, and now she’s walked right into the belly of the beast. Wild Haven Island is a town obsessed with the Fae. Turns out it’s for good reason. Miri discovers her mom was part of a group that tried to form a magical Fae coven called an Axis. Miri’s mom ran, but everyone else involved appeared to be tainted by the Axis. The leader of this failed Axis, his name is Anthony. Surprise, he’s Miri’s dad. He’s also a Fae, from Fairy. What he wants is to pull down the veil and get back home. Or is it? Long story short, Anthony forces Miri and Davis to bond, forming the first part of a new Axis. Miri has alchemist magic and Davis has elemental magic. Lena’s been in love with Archer since grade school. He’s clueless. Still, there’s an undeniable pull toward each other and it doesn’t take long before they’re acting on those feelings.

Well, my younger sister Zara lived in Fairy her whole life and never got to experience all the normal shit the rest of us grew up with. My friends and I have spent the last few months trying to recreate all those milestones for her. Although, I never went to prom in high school either. I drop my chin and take in the sad state of my dress. It’s hanging a little limply on my body, and my hair and makeup are equally fucked. That doesn’t mean Ezra gets to say that shit out loud. He can eat a bag of dicks. A flash from earlier in the night burns the back of my retinas. Ezra’s hands on my hips, sliding over my stomach and ribs as he danced with me. Okay, maybe dancing isn’t the right word. He’d been grinding his dick against my ass and practically fucking me in the middle of the street during our weird-ass prom. Maybe I need to punch myself, because I seriously considered finding a spot to shove him on his back so I could ride him like
