Ignoring his magical insights since childhood, Sean hopes to escape fae attention, forget his assassin past, and make a clean new life in St. Louis but finds himself embroiled in the activities of an elite, magic-dabbling family. The youngest daughter, Lillian, is eager to share her secrets-as well as her bedroom-with Sean, but he falls hard for Lillian's fiancé, a WWI flying ace with a few secrets of his own. Soon he is on the run, a suspect in his lover's bludgeoning and a tycoon's murder.

Brown's capable hands. Sean's search for the missing baby girl of a wealthy St. Louis debutante leads him into an increasingly dangerous web of supernatural intrigue that touches on not only local history but the restrictive social mores of the early 20th century.
