This rich medieval tapestry includes:

With lovable friends, a good job, and a car that could be better off grounded, MacKayla Lane is the typical twenty-first-century woman.

But when her sister is mysteriously murdered, with the killer leaving behind one clue in the form of a cryptic message on Mac’s cell phone, Mac’s desperate quest for answers takes her to Ireland.

Searching for answers however draws her deeper into a dark realm where nothing is what it seems; a place where both good and evil wear the same deceitful and tempting mask.

Even worse is that a bigger challenge is on the horizon for her. Mac has to stay alive long enough to know how to control a power she never knew she had.

MacKayla Lane is once again fighting for her survival.

This time round, she must find the Sinsar Dubh; a dangerous black magic book that has been around for a million years, and one which holds the key to conquering both the worlds of Fae and Man.

As she is chased by dangerous killers and surrounded by people that she simply cannot trust, Mac ends up getting stuck between two deadly and powerful men. The first man, V’lane, is a dangerous Fae prince while the second man is the mysterious Jericho Barrons.

The shadowy realm of the Fae court has coexisted with that of humans for years. But now, the walls between the two are crumbling down and Mac is the only one standing between them.

As MacKayla Lane goes through a page torn from the journal of her deceased sister, she is shocked by Alina’s distressed words. Although Mac can feel that her sister’s killer is close, evil is even closer.

Now, the sidhe-seer is on a desperate search for answers, revenge, and for an old book of dark magic so sinister that it corrupts whoever touches it.

As Mac searches for the Sinsar Dubh in the streets of Dublin, she has no option but to enter into an uneasy alliance with V’lane, the dangerous Fae prince, and the mysterious and secretive Jericho Barrons.

Soon enough, she is embroiled in a battle for her mind, body and soul.

“They may have stolen my past but I will never let them take my future.”

Mac is left with nowhere to run after the walls between Man and Fae come crumbling down; unshackling the immortal Unseelie from their icy prison.

Imprisoned and persecuted by the Fae Lord Master, Mac can neither remember who or what she is—the only existing sidhe-seer capable of finding the Sinsar Dubh, a old book of black magic that holds the key to controlling both the worlds of Fae and Man.

From the mean streets of Dublin to the deceitful politics of a secret, ancient sect; from dealing with men who simply can’t be trusted to the treacherous world of the Fae, Mac must come face-to-face with a truth that will tear her soul apart.

MacKayla Lane was but a child when she and Alina, her sister, were taken up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever.

Two decades later, while on a vengeful search for the person who murdered her sister, Mac discovers that she hails from a lineage that is both a blessing and a curse.

This leads her on another mission of acquiring the Sinsar Dubh, an ancient book with powers so strong that it could create and destroy both the worlds of Fae and Man.

In this grand showdown between humans and Fae, the hunter will become the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh pursues Mac.

Dublin has now become a war zone after the walls separating the humans and Fae came crumbling down, and one third of the entire population of the world has already been wiped out.

The Unseelie, who were placed in captivity over half a million years ago, have been freed; with every new one that MacKayla Lane meets seemingly stronger than the last one. The Unseelie are simply too powerful for any human weapons.

But when a dark force begins targeting those closest to Mac, the heroic sidhe-seer—with the help of Jericho Barrons and the Spear of Destiny—prepares to face her most horrifying adversary of them all.

This epic graphic novel has been adapted by writer David Lawrence and illustrator Al Rio.

The fate of Dublin is now on Dani’s hands.

Earth has been on a gradual path to utter destruction ever since the immortal Fae race brought down the ancient wall that separated the worlds of Man and Faery.

The only thing that can now save the planet is the Song of Making—a dreadful melody from which all life exist.

To acquire the mythic Song however, Mac, Barrons, Ryodan and Jada, must fight off old wounds and new rivals, burning desires and deep rooted vengeance.

The once peaceful city of Dublin has been turned into a war zone.

The challenges are many and so are the enemies in those streets, but the biggest enemy for Mac however will be herself!

Black holes may be hovering over Dublin, perhaps as the biggest indication of Earth’s imminent destruction, yet the most dreadful of all is something unleashed from within by MacKayla Lane.

The thing in question is the Sinsar Dubh—an ancient black magic book that has not only taken over her body but is also on an unrelenting quest to feed its insatiable lust for power.

Destroying the book and retrieving the long-lost Song of Making, the dreadful melody from which all life exist, could help save both Man and Fae, but doing it is easier said than done; as sidhe-seers, the Nine, Seelie, and Unseelie must all  form improbable alliances and make tough choices.

The matter of who’s good and who’s evil can be decided by the answer to a single question: Whose side are you on?

Now, as High Queen of the Fae, Mac faces her greatest challenge yet: ruling the very race she was born to hunt and kill—a race that wants her dead yesterday, so they can put a pure-blooded Fae queen on the throne.

But challenges with her subjects are the least of her concerns when an ancient, deadly foe resurfaces, changing not only the rules of the game but the very game itself, initiating a catastrophic sequence of events that have devastating consequences and leave Mac questioning everything she’s ever learned and everyone she’s ever loved.
