Rowan Mercer is a quiet, introspective poet who finds solace among the gothic stacks of Nightshade Academy’s ancient library—until a single crimson feather and a mysterious silver locket pull him into the heart of a hidden magical world. Summoned by the legendary Cobweb Court, a clandestine society of reality-bending poets, Rowan discovers that his verses can shape flesh and shadow, conjuring creatures of moonlight and unraveling the fabric of existence. But power comes at a price: as he hones his craft under the Court’s watchful elders, Rowan’s poems awaken a fae bearing his own name—a breathtaking being of light and darkness who mirrors his deepest fears and unspoken desires. Torn between loyalty to his fellow poets and an irresistible bond with the fae, Rowan must master the art of poetic magic or risk unleashing chaos on both the mortal and fae realms.
