Synopsis
Cloudburst Falls, West Virginia, calls itself the most magical place in America, and its tourists never see the monsters under the bridges or the mob Families that really run the town. Lila Merriweather, a 17-year-old thief, has spent years staying out of the Families' business, because one of them was behind her mother's murder. Then a feud between the Families reaches a friend's pawn shop, and Lila ends up protecting Devon Sinclair, a young man from one of the powerful Families. Keeping to the sidelines is no longer an option once she is part of the fight.
