In the hidden corners of New York City, Valerie’s search for a place to belong leads her into a dark, glittering underworld where faeries are not the stuff of bedtime stories but dangerous, seductive realities. As she becomes entangled with a motley group of outcasts and thieves, she must navigate a world of magic, loyalty, and betrayal, where every bargain has a price. Atmospheric, edgy, and richly imagined, Valiant blends urban fantasy with a sharp coming-of-age edge.
