In a world where truth is as elusive as sanity, twenty-one-year-old Darah Lawlis finds herself caught in a whirlwind of chaos and confusion.

Little does she know, the agonizing symptoms signal the onset of the Change—an extraordinary transformation revealing her true nature. As Darah grapples with the shocking revelation that she isn’t human and her sister, Moriah, has been keeping dangerous secrets, she’s thrust into a fight for survival. When Moriah’s hidden truth emerges, it unleashes a threat that endangers everyone Darah holds dear. With fists clenched and a fierce determination to protect her loved ones, she plunges headfirst into a perilous battle, confronting not only external foes but the very foundations of her identity. Will she rise to the challenge, or will the truth tear her world apart?
For a year, Irvette has survived Faery. She’s suffered many atrocities and bears many scars, both mental and physical. Now only one quest stands between Irvette and her goal of rescuing her niece: the head of the Unseelie Court’s Queen. But Irvette can’t accomplish this last task alone. She seeks out Bartley, a young man whose life has recently been ruined by faeries. Together, they embark on a dark journey that will push their humanity to its limit.
Darah Lawlis' life is in ruins, and she's the only one to blame. Her ill-conceived plan, which fractured Uprising, has left the life of the only person who matters to her—Alicia—in danger. Grief-stricken and consumed by guilt, Darlene knows that if Alicia dies, she may lose the last bit of humanity she has left. A monster lurks beneath the surface, and only the faintest thread of self-control keeps it from breaking free. But there's a way to save Alicia, though it will come at a terrible cost. The journey ahead will be perilous, and Darlene's only allies are a band of misfits, including one who loathes her as much as she does him. However, Darlene will stop at nothing—no price is too high, no danger too great—to keep Alicia alive. The world may burn, but if that's what it takes, then so be it.
Darlene Coopersmith, a twenty-one-year-old allergic to restraint, stupidity, and Cyndi Lauper, has had a horrible week, and it's only three days in. Good sense tells her the universe isn’t through with her, and right she is. At first, she thinks the horrendous itching, lapses in memory, and overall body’s-been-put-through-a-meat-grinder feeling is due to an illness, but her assumption couldn’t be farther from the truth. No, according to Darlene’s sister and best friend, the reason for Darlene’s discomfort is the Change: a process Wers go through to shift between their two forms. The news floors her. She isn’t human, and the two closest people to her have known for years. Her trust shaken, Darlene can’t help but wonder what other secrets they’ve kept from her. And the secrets they have, especially Darlene’s sister, Mariah. When Mariah’s biggest secret rears its ugly head, everyone Darlene loves faces death. Like always, Darlene hurls herself into the danger, fists ready and thrusting for blood.
Darlene Coopersmith’s world is falling apart. What makes it worse, is that she’s to blame. Because of an ill-conceived plan she set in motion that has torn Uprising apart, she might lose Alicia, the only person that’s mattered to her since her family's deaths. With Alicia’s life hanging by a thread, Darlene’s mind is spiraling. If the kid dies, there’s no saying what Darlene would do in her grief. A monster lurks under her skin, and the barest hint of self-control is keeping it a bay. Just when all is surely lost, it’s discovered that there might be a way to save Alicia. The journey will likely be wrought with danger and one of her companions despises her as much as she does him, but there are no lengths Darlene won’t go to, to save Alicia. The whole world could, and might, burn if it means the kid lives.
