The girl runs away from home to find a serial killer and escape the faceless creature that’s been stalking her relentlessly. But Eliza isn’t alone. Her companions include a twelve-year-old brother, a banshee journalist, a self-proclaimed knight, and a mysterious fairy who shows up far too often at just the right moment in just the right place. Will they be able to challenge the Mistress of Predestination herself and change the fate decreed for the last lady of the Forbidden lineage?
