Innocent Darkness — Suzanne Lazear

A STEAMPUNK FAERIE TALE PULSING WITH ROMANCE AND DANGER

If one girl lives, the whole world dies.

Sixteen-year-old Noli Braddock and her best friend Steven "V" Darrow just wanted to take a flying car out for a joy ride. They had no idea it would result in Noli getting sent to reform school to mend her hoyden ways. While at the dreadful school, Noli's innocent Midsummer's Eve wish summons Kevighn, a mysterious man who takes Noli with him to the Realm of Faerie. At first Noli believes she has been rescued. But the sinister reason behind the handsome huntsman's appearance quickly becomes clear -- he wants to use Noli as a blood sacrifice to restore his dying world. V, who has secrets of his own, shows up to help Noli escape and return to the mortal realm -- but first, they must navigate the dangerous intrigues of the Otherworld. If they are successful, Noli will live. But the entire Otherworld civilization will perish.
