Can a broken young girl help a guilt-ridden grotesque to stop the monsters?
What would you sacrifice?

She believes someone has swapped her brother with a changeling. Her parents think she is jealous of the new baby. They are wrong, and Olivia will do anything to get him back, even if it means losing herself, and giving in to the darkness growing inside her.

Entering the lands of the fae is more dangerous than any of them could imagine.

"Olivia Stone is such a great main character, and readers are really taken on her journey. Great dialogue, great action, and great characters. Just the right mix of comedy and creepy!" Adam Wallace (NYT Bestselling Author)

New and Terrifying


This book ascends to a whole new terrifying level.

​Now, the three unlikely guardians are about to face the most dangerous monster of them all.

They will not be able to win this fight alone.



​

New Monsters

Dreamweavers feed on the dread and despair of their victims.  To help Yip stop their nightmarish infestation of the city, Olivia has to prowl dark streets, brave the boy's toilet and break into the old Haven Asylum.

She must face her greatest fear, the mother of all spiders,  if she has any hope of saving her friend, Emmett.

Unexpected Heroes

Yip is no larger than a house-cat, the smallest living grotesque ever created and the cause of Olivia's crippling injuries. 

Together, they are the the last guardians, the city's only defense.
