Shea is living a nightmare. She leaves England to marry Cal in America, hoping to begin a new life. She soon discovers he is controlling and dangerous. At her wedding, she meets Alex, Cal’s friend, who becomes her protector as Cal’s behavior grows increasingly threatening.
After Shea is shot by her abusive husband, a fairy who once saved her when she tried to take her own life carries her deep into the Blue Mountains, where she vanishes into a hidden fae realm. Unknown to Shea at the time, she is pregnant with Cal’s child.
Refusing to believe she is gone forever, Alex risks everything to cross over and bring the woman he loves back. He soon discovers the crossing changed him forever. Memories fade. Reality bends. The longer he remains there, the more the human world slips away.
Meanwhile, Shea has found peace in the wooded realm, but that peace comes with a dangerous price. A mysterious force known as the Hollowing is spreading across the kingdom, causing landscapes, memories, identities, and entire pieces of the world to disappear.
There is a legend among the fairies that a Child of Two Worlds will be able to stand against the growing darkness. His very existence may hold the key to saving both the human world and the fairy kingdom. The fairy court believes Shea’s child, Silas, is the fulfillment of that prophecy.
As the prophecy awakens and ancient magic stirs beneath the forests of the Blue Mountains, Alex, Shea, and Silas must fight to preserve not only their world, but the memories, love, and identities that hold reality itself together.
And somewhere inside the Hollowing walks Shea’s husband, Cal—caught between the doorway of two worlds, consumed by vengeance, and faced with a final choice that could either destroy the realm… or save it.
