What happens when your fairy godmother and your commanding officer don't see eye to eye?
Ben Frazer frets about exams, university, and finding a boyfriend, but he has a lot more to worry about when he discovers the secret world of Britain's fairies, and gets caught between military intelligence and the radical fey.
For reasons he can't understand, Ben is immune to magic, and that makes him a bulletproof soldier in this ongoing war. But Ben doesn't want to fight -- and when he falls for the dashing Twilight Prince, he's not even sure whose side he's on.
An action-packed queer YA novel about the difficult choice between romance and duty, and finding where you fit in, featuring monsters, witches, sword maidens, mer-men, special agents, and more.
