For centuries, the Harpies have hidden in plain sight, shifting between bird and human form while avoiding humankind. Violette is one of them—raised in the cliffs of Shadowvale Canyon, bound by the rules of her Commune, and preparing for her Presentation to Court, where her future will be decided.

​

Everything changes when she saves an injured human. That one, stupid, life-saving shift risks everything: her wings, her name, and the life she was promised.

 

Enter Lieutenant Nickolaus Astor—brilliant, arrogant, and already shaping a future that may demand more than loyalty. To contain the damage, he offers her a choice: accept his engagement, steal back the

 

Mirror of Mnemosyne from the human city of Stonewater, or lose everything.

​

The Mirror doesn’t just reveal memory. It weaponizes it.

 

Drawn into a world of brass, deception, and thieves’ circuits, Violette must decide: become a tool in someone else’s design—or risk everything to keep the truth from those who would rewrite it.
