is the first book in Sarah J. Maas’s Crescent City series, blending urban fantasy, romance, and thriller.

Synopsis
Bryce Quinlan is a young woman living in the vibrant and dangerous city of Crescent City, home to magical creatures and dangerous secrets. After the brutal murder of her best friend, Danika Fendyr, a wolf-shifter, Bryce is left devastated and guilty. The investigation into her friend's death goes cold for two years, but when a new series of killings threaten the balance of the magical world, Bryce is thrust back into the investigation, joined by Hunt Athalar, a fallen angel and mercenary, who becomes her reluctant partner.
As Bryce and Hunt uncover dark secrets hidden within the city's political and magical systems, they must confront their own demons while navigating a dangerous web of lies, betrayal, and long-held grudges. In a world where danger lurks around every corner and allies are scarce, Bryce learns that everything she thought she knew about her world and herself might be a lie.
