Careful what you wish for… A mysterious book given to Sylvia by a handsome stranger plunges her into a secret world, awakening her ability to see this paranormal realm. It also makes her a target to the Dark Fae who want the book back—who will kill her to possess it. The stranger, Sebastian, becomes Sylvia’s reluctant defender—but his ability to influence her dreams is almost as dangerous as the fact that he’s a vampire. On the run with Sebastian, Sylvia learns about the plan of Maeve, queen of the Dark Fae, to eliminate all other paranormal creatures. Possession of the book means that Sylvia is caught in the middle of a war between the Dark Fae and the Others—with a predator as her only ally. If she can decipher the book, will that help the Others to fight for their survival? Should she trust Sebastian? Or does the vampire who ignores all the rules have a secret plan of his own? *** Maeve’s Book of Beasts is a prequel to the DragonFate Novels series of paranormal romances, which introduces the characters and the quest.
