Stardust in Our Veins

Red Hood-Hunt has spent years putting distance between herself and the powerful Hunt family—and building a life that belongs entirely to her. Knox Wolfe has built a career proving that appearances, especially where wolves are concerned, can be dangerously misleading.

They also have history. The complicated kind.

When Red and Wolfe are unexpectedly paired for an investigation, their assignment sounds impossible: find a legendary seventh orb, one of the ancient sources of magic that shaped their world. The other six have already been used, their power woven into everything from old fairy tales to the uneasy peace between magical and non-magical creatures. The seventh has been missing for centuries.

And now someone is stealing magic from the orb that keeps Legion in balance.

Following the trail means digging through stories everyone thought they knew, questioning faeries, merfolk, witches, and descendants of legendary families—and confronting a past Red has worked very hard to leave buried. Because the closer they get to the missing orb, the closer they get to ancient history.

With Legion’s magic draining away and old feelings proving considerably harder to ignore than either of them would like, Red and Wolfe have to unravel the truth before the balance holding their world together collapses.

Because in a city built on fairy tales, the stories are real.

They just aren’t always true.
