Synopsis

Three months after a split between the London and Los Angeles branches divides the Arcadia Project and the fey Courts, Los Angeles agent Millie Roper is worn down and short on allies. London frames her partner, Tjuan, for attempted murder, and Millie hides him while she tries to prove his innocence. Her search leads to White Rose, a fey palace where the evidence that could free him is locked in a vault. To get it, Millie must plan a heist. She lost her legs years ago and still lives with borderline personality disorder, so she has to rely on her wits more than her strength, and the outcome could decide the fate of both the human and fey worlds.
