When danger follows you home, where can you be safe? Annie Humphries thought she'd saved the day when she sneaked Fellora ti'Mal away from the Wild Hunt before they could chase her down as prey. Not bad for a young PI without a drop of magical ability, right? But that was before she found Wylan's apartment tossed and bloodied. Annie knows where he's been taken, but unless she can find a Huntsman willing to bring her to the Hunter's hidden lair, she has no way of reaching him. Worse, since Wylan's brothers appear to be following his scent trails across the city in search of his accomplices, Annie has no choice but to flee. Diriem ti'Dana, a gifted farseer, offers Annie and her friends a place to hide while the Hunt is on the prowl. While he sees glimpses of the future, Diriem can't tell Annie how to rescue Wylan, or even whether it's possible for her to save his life. But he can offer her hints, and he introduces her to a troll with an old secret who may just be the key to Wylan's salvation-if Annie is strong enough. To find Wylan, Annie will need to push herself to her limits and face his father. But beneath her antlers, she's just an ordinary human. How can she hope to defeat the ancient, virtually unkillable Hunter?
Annie Humphries must rescue a kidnapped friend from a dangerous supernatural organization, but she is an ordinary human facing ancient hunters. Annie, a private investigator with no magical abilities, has just rescued Fellora ti'Mal from the Wild Hunt, only to find her associate Wylan's apartment ransacked and bloodied. She knows Wylan has been taken by the Hunt, but reaching him requires finding a Huntsman willing to guide her to their hidden lair. With Wylan's brothers hunting for accomplices, Annie must flee, seeking refuge with Diriem ti'Dana, a seer who can offer cryptic clues but no clear path to Wylan's rescue or survival. The narrative framework appears to be third-person, following Annie's desperate efforts.
The premise sets up a high-stakes urban fantasy narrative where a non-magical protagonist must navigate a dangerous supernatural world. The inclusion of a kidnapping plot and a race against time suggests a fast-paced story with elements of mystery and action. The conflict between Annie's human limitations and the power of the ancient Hunters implies a focus on resilience and overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds. The narrative appears to explore themes of protection, loyalty, and the struggle for survival in a world where magic and danger are intertwined.
