Alana-part elf, part werewolf, all sass-must face two fae princes, a nest of vampires, and the law to break an ancient curse.
A debut contemporary fantasy set in rural America, perfect for fans of TJ Klune and Charlaine Harris.
Alana Taskey has all-time rotten luck. In her middle-of-nowhere hometown, where the wolves all beat and the elves all cheat, her trailer routinely goes missing and she's usually left holding the bag when her ill-tempered father gets into trouble. Her half-brother, Gervis-part wizard, part hulking werewolf-is the only thing keeping her from burning rubber out of there. Well, that and money.
When Alana is in a car accident that kills Mrs. O'Brien-known affectionately around town as Mamaw Faery-the fae's eerily beautiful and undeniably magnetic grandson blames Alana. In an attempt to defend herself, she accidentally taps into ancient fae magic and swears an oath that will curse her and her family in three days' time unless she delivers the one magical item that can fix everything Alana broke: the Feather of Mother Donaghy.
Alana and Gervis hightail it through town on a quest to find the Feather. Along the way, they meet another handsome fae, haggle with the local sea monster (who is also the fry cook at the burger joint), and ferret out a nearby lair of vampires in dockers and polo shirts, all while avoiding the police and their father.
As the clock ticks down, Alana will have to learn to trust some of the folks she least expected and embrace a part of herself she never knew, using her brash wits, her hillbilly ways, and just a touch of magic to save her family and find something bigger for herself.
