About the Book

"Zoey Daniels has been tossed from foster home to foster home, where she grows up fast and tough. When she is placed in her 'last-chance' home, she finds a reason to stay and turn her life around--her foster sister, Lexie, who is paralysed and confined to a wheelchair. Zoey will do anything to keep her safe. After high school, Zoey is hired by a special government agency, the other reason to remain--Daniel her co-worker. The man she loves. But there is something unique about Zoey. She can see fae. Because of this, the DMG hires her to work as a Collector--catching, researching, testing, and using the fae to save human lives. The work never registers on her sympathy radar. She was raised to think of fae as beasts that feed on humans and want to destroy them. When devastation hits Seattle, Zoey's whole world is turned upside down. The electric storm connects her to a ruthless fae Wanderer named Ryker whose dealings expose them to even more trouble and danger. They embark on a journey, running and hiding from both the government and fae, both of which threaten their lives and those they love"--Back cover.

Book Synopsis

*This series is connected to the Darkness Series. Recomend reading this series after.

There is something unique about Zoey Daniels.

She can see the fae-a species kept hidden from the human world.

Because of her talent, she is hired as a Collector by the Department of Molecular Genetics (DMG), a secret government agency that uses fae blood to save human lives, curing things like cancer and birth defects. She is trained to collect the fae, never considering them anything but soulless monsters who feed on humans like their personal buffet.

When devastation strikes Seattle, everything Zoey knows is turned upside down. An electrical storm tangles her with Ryker, a ruthless wanderer, who looks like a Viking and kills like a brute. His hate for humans is as equal as her hate for fae.

When DMG turns on Zoey, she can no longer trust the government agency she had spent years dedicating her life to and is forced into an alliance with the callous Viking.

Ryker and Zoey's connection sends them down a road of lies, deceit, corruption, and murder.

It won't be just the city left in embers.
