Twinned Shadow — Candice Bundy

A Foothold In Two Different Worlds, And No Safety In Either…

I, Becka Rowan, live in a time of uneasy peace. A fragile truce stands between humans, shifters, and the fae-touched -- those who turn inward to their Houses for loyalty and protection and live in isolation from the outside world.
For an ungifted like me, that's impossible to do.
Born of the fae but not blessed with their powers, I've grown up as an outcast within the human world. Humans don't trust people like me with fae heritage, and the fae don't bother with the ungifted. I said screw it and embraced college, determined to make my own fate.
Just when I thought I could start a prestigious internship and continue my quest to address interspecies conflict, someone murdered my twin sister, an adept illusionist and heir to our family lineage.
So, I'm going back home to say goodbye. Back to House Rowan. I take a deep breath, knowing after a short few days I'll return to the city, free again from the melodrama of the House I was raised in.
There's just one hitch in my plan -- Quinn, a fae-touched member of the Enforcer's Guild assigned to investigate the killing. Quinn doesn't let the typical fae prejudices against the ungifted prevent him from staying close to me. Uncomfortably close. Besides, he needs my help to figure out what happened to my sister.
How can I refuse?
