Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Long Live Evil in a scintillating contemporary fantasy from USA Today bestselling author Alexis Hall!

When the Midnight Realm began bleeding into the normal world, turning people into monsters and ever-larger chunks of England into fairytale hellscapes, a man in a harlequin mask told Olivia Day she was the only one who could stop it.

She didn't really think to ask why. Probably because she had been twelve years old at the time.

Olivia and her friends had been the Guardians of Fate; the thin glittery line between the world we know and a place of unknown terrors.

That was a long time ago.

These days she has a perfectly nice life with a perfectly nice wife, a perfectly nice house and perfectly nice kids. She only occasionally wakes up screaming from the nightmares.

But when her daughter starts having dreams about a palace made of mirrors, and a man who turns into an owl, and terrible red eyes in the night...

Well, Olivia always said she'd go to war to protect her daughter.
