Even in the thoroughly modern era of the 1920s, one meets all sorts of characters while traveling the vaudeville circuit. Lark (gender selectable) has seen acts enough—and cons enough—to place very little stock in either magic or fairytales.
That is, until two beings straight from myth turn Lark's world topsy-turvy. Entangled in a selkie's daring heist and stuck ferrying a stolen siren prince back to sea, the question is no longer whether magic exists—but whether Lark can survive without it.
Because where magic is not a mere act, forces beyond reckoning loom in the shadows, and the monsters of old are neither phony, nor dead: rather, they are much closer—and much more dangerous!—than Lark has ever dared to imagine them.
