Pitch
An FBI profiler must hunt down a fae serial killer in London, falling into a dangerous attraction to an enigmatic fae ally or suspect, while navigating a perilous shadowy realm where she will discover her own magic powers.
Synopsis
Federal Special Agent Cassandra Liddell arrives in London to profile a serial killer. With three young females slashed in the streets of London, the UK tabloids gleefully declare “The Ripper Is Back!”. The panic further escalates, as the press is clued that the string of murders might be a result of migrants’ terrorist attacks. Cassandra’s investigation reveals the killer is … not human, he is a supernatural being, a fae.
After a mysterious encounter with another fae named Roan Taranis, who alternates between helping, killing and seducing her, Cassandra starts experiencing strange visions and discovers she has her own force — a reflection magic, a quite rare fae power as her new magic ally explains to her.
Cassandra struggles with navigating between the murder investigation and the revealed dark magical world, ending up framed for the murders. Using her newly discoverd magic skills, she escapes and Roan in the fae realm, Trinovantum. There, she learns she’s a half-fae pixie, whose emotions are like a drug to full-blooded fae.
Most faes feed on emotions, some (her including) are attracted by fear, som — like Roan — are empowered by lust. Cassandra and Roan form an uneasy alliance to stop the London killer and rescue Roan's friend from a fae prison in Trinovantum. As they escape from a grim fae prison into Roan’s hide-out, Cassandra discovers clues that Roan had been following for years. His involvement with the investigation had been carefully pre-arranged, their encounter was not accidental. Roan seems to have been obsessed with Cassandra – could he set up a string of gruesome murders to have her invited to London to investigate the case?
In London, Cassandra is summoned by a killer to a meeting spot. As she confronts the true killer, Cassandra uses her reflection magic to defeat him. Cassandra succeeds in reviving Roan, defeated in this battle by the high-rank fae (and a high-rank police officer), a true serial killer.
Roan reveals Cassandra is prophesied to be the key to defeating the Fae High King, setting the stage for a larger battle ahead.
